17. Then Moses brought the people out of the camp to meet God, and they took their stand at the foot of the mountain.
18. Now Mount Sinai was wrapped in smoke because the Lord had descended on it in fire. The smoke of it went up like the smoke of a kiln, and the whole mountain trembled greatly.
19. And as the sound of the trumpet grew louder and louder, Moses spoke, and God answered him in thunder.
20. The Lord came down on Mount Sinai, to the top of the mountain. And the Lord called Moses to the top of the mountain, and Moses went up.
21. And the Lord said to Moses, “Go down and warn the people, lest they break through to the Lord to look and many of them perish.
22. Also let the priests who come near to the Lord consecrate themselves, lest the Lord break out against them.”
