Exodus 19:19 CPDV

¹⁷  And when Moses had led them out to meet God, from the place of the camp, they stood at the base of the mountain.

¹⁸  Then all of Mount Sinai was smoking. For the Lord had descended over it with fire, and smoke ascended from it, as from a furnace. And the entire mountain was terrible.

¹⁹  And the sound of the trumpet gradually increased to be louder, and extended to be longer. Moses was speaking, and God was answering him.

²⁰  And the Lord descended over Mount Sinai, to the very top of the mountain, and he called Moses to its summit. And when he had ascended there,

²¹  he said to him: 'Descend, and call the people to witness, lest they might be willing to transgress the limits, so as to see the Lord, and a very great multitude of them might perish.
