20. The Lord came down on Mount Sinai to the top of the mountain. The Lord called Moses to come up to the top of the mountain, and Moses went up.
21. The Lord said to Moses, "Go down and warn the people not to break through to try to see the Lord, or many of them will fall dead.
22. Even the priests who come near to the Lord must keep themselves holy, or the Lord will break loose against them."
23. Moses said to the Lord, "The people aren’t allowed to come up on Mount Sinai because you warned us and said, ‘Set up a fence around the mountain to keep it holy.’"
24. The Lord said to him, "Go down, and bring Aaron back up with you. But the priests and the people must not break through and come up to the Lord. Otherwise, the Lord will break loose against them."
25. So Moses went down to the people and told them.
