The LORD also said to Moses, "Go to the people and consecrate them today and tomorrow, and have them wash their garments;

And the Lord said unto Moses, Go unto the people, and sanctify them to day and to morrow, and let them wash their clothes,

and have them ready for the third day, for on the third day the LORD will come down on Mount Sinai in the sight of all the people.

And be ready against the third day: for the third day the Lord will come down in the sight of all the people upon mount Sinai.

"But you shall set boundaries for the people all around, saying, 'Beware that you do not go up on the mountain or touch the border of it; whoever touches the mountain shall certainly be put to death.

And thou shalt set bounds unto the people round about, saying, Take heed to yourselves, that ye go not up into the mount, or touch the border of it: whosoever toucheth the mount shall be surely put to death:

'No hand shall touch him, but he shall certainly be stoned or shot through; whether animal or person, the violator shall not live.' When the ram's horn sounds a long blast, they shall come up to the mountain."

There shall not an hand touch it, but he shall surely be stoned, or shot through; whether it be beast or man, it shall not live: when the trumpet soundeth long, they shall come up to the mount.

So Moses went down from the mountain to the people and consecrated the people, and they washed their garments.

And Moses went down from the mount unto the people, and sanctified the people; and they washed their clothes.

He also said to the people, "Be ready for the third day; do not go near a woman."

And he said unto the people, Be ready against the third day: come not at your wives.
