14. So Moses went down from the mountain to the people. He made them prepare themselves for service to God. And the people washed their clothes.
15. Then Moses said to the people, “Be ready in three days. Do not have physical relations during this time.”
16. It was the morning of the third day. There was thunder and lightning with a thick cloud on the mountain. And there was a very loud blast from a trumpet. All the people in the camp were frightened.
17. Then Moses led the people out of the camp to meet God. They stood at the foot of the mountain.
