7And Moses came and sent for the chiefs of the people and put before them all these words which the Lord had given him orders to say.
8And all the people, answering together, said, Whatever the Lord has said we will do. And Moses took back to the Lord the words of the people.
9And the Lord said to Moses, See, I will come to you in a thick cloud, so that what I say to you may come to the ears of the people and they may have belief in you for ever. And Moses gave the Lord word of what the people had said.
10And the Lord said to Moses, Go to the people and make them holy today and tomorrow, and let their clothing be washed.
11And by the third day let them be ready: for on the third day the Lord will come down on Mount Sinai, before the eyes of all the people.
12And let limits be marked out for the people round the mountain, and say to them, Take care not to go up the mountain or near the sides of it: whoever puts his foot on the mountain will certainly come to his death:
13He is not to be touched by a hand, but is to be stoned or have an arrow put through him; man or beast, he is to be put to death: at the long sounding of a horn they may come up to the mountain.
