12. You shall set bounds to the people all around, saying, ‘Be careful that you don’t go up onto the mountain, or touch its border. Whoever touches the mountain shall be surely put to death.
13. No hand shall touch him, but he shall surely be stoned or shot through; whether it is animal or man, he shall not live.’ When the shofar sounds long, they shall come up to the mountain.”
14. Moses went down from the mountain to the people, and sanctified the people; and they washed their clothes.
15. He said to the people, “Be ready by the third day. Don’t have sexual relations with a woman.”
16. On the third day, when it was morning, there were thunders and lightnings, and a thick cloud on the mountain, and the sound of an exceedingly loud shofar; and all the people who were in the camp trembled.
17. Moses led the people out of the camp to meet God; and they stood at the lower part of the mountain.
