Exodus 19:14-20 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

14. And Moses went down from the mountain to the people, and he consecrated the people, and they washed their clothes.

15. And he said to the people, “Be ready for the third day. Do not go near to a woman.”

16. And on the third day, when it was morning, there was thunder and lightning, and a heavy cloud over the mountain and a very loud ram’s horn sound, and all the people who were in the camp trembled.

17. And Moses brought the people out from the camp to meet God, and they took their stand at the foot of the mountain.

18. And Mount Sinai was all wrapped in smoke because Yahweh went down on it in the fire, and its smoke went up like the smoke of a smelting furnace, and the whole mountain trembled greatly.

19. And the sound of the ram’s horn became louder and louder, and Moses would speak, and God would answer him with a voice.

20. And Yahweh went down on Mount Sinai, to the top of the mountain, and Yahweh called Moses to the top of the mountain, and Moses went up.
