Israel camped at the base of the mountain [of Sinai]. <span class="reftext"><a href="/exodus/19-3.htm"><b>3</b></a></span>Moses went up to God [on the mountain], and the LORD called to him from the mountain, saying, “Say this to the house of Jacob and tell the Israelites: <span class="reftext"><a href="/exodus/19-4.htm"><b>4</b></a></span>‘You have seen what I did to the Egyptians, and how I carried you on eagles’ wings, and brought you to Myself. <span class="reftext"><a href="/exodus/19-5.htm"><b>5</b></a></span>Now therefore, if you will in fact obey My voice and keep My covenant (agreement), then you shall be My own special possession <i>and</i> treasure from among all peoples [of the world], for all the earth is Mine; <span class="reftext"><a href="/exodus/19-6.htm"><b>6</b></a></span>and you shall be to Me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation [set apart for My purpose].’ These are the words that you shall speak to the Israelites.” <p class="paragraph"><span class="reftext"><a href="/exodus/19-7.htm"><b>7</b></a></span>So Moses called for the elders of the people, and told them all these words which the LORD commanded him. <span class="reftext"><a href="/exodus/19-8.htm"><b>8</b></a></span>All the people answered together and said, “We will do everything that the LORD has spoken.” And Moses reported the words of the people to the LORD. <span class="reftext"><a href="/exodus/19-9.htm"><b>9</b></a></span>The LORD said to Moses, “Behold, I will come to you in a thick cloud, so that the people may hear when I speak with you and may believe <i>and</i> trust in you forever.” Then Moses repeated the words of the people to the LORD. <p class="paragraph"><span class="reftext"><a href="/exodus/19-10.htm"><b>10</b></a></span>The LORD also said to Moses, “Go to the people and consecrate them today and tomorrow [that is, prepare them for My sacred purpose], and have them wash their clothes <span class="reftext"><a href="/exodus/19-11.htm"><b>11</b></a></span>and be ready by the third day, because on the third day the LORD will come down on Mount Sinai [in the cloud] in the sight of all the people. <span class="reftext"><a href="/exodus/19-12.htm"><b>12</b></a></span>You shall set barriers for the people all around [the mountain], saying, ‘Beware that you do not go up on the mountain or touch its border; whoever touches the mountain must be put to death. <span class="reftext"><a href="/exodus/19-13.htm"><b>13</b></a></span>No hand shall touch him [that is, no one shall try to save the guilty party], but the offender must be stoned or shot through [with arrows];
