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.
14Then Moses went down from the mountain to the people, and made the people holy; and their clothing was washed.
15And he said to the people, Be ready by the third day: do not come near a woman.
