In the third month , on the same day (of the month) that the Israelites ... had left the land of Egypt , they came (to) the Wilderness of Sinai.
| LXX |
After they had set out from Rephidim , they entered the Wilderness of Sinai , - and Israel camped there - in front of the mountain.
| LXX |
Then Moses went up to God , and the LORD called to him from the mountain , “ This is what ... you are to tell the house of Jacob and explain to the sons of Israel :
| LXX |
‘ You have seen for yourselves what I did to Egypt , and how I carried - you on eagles’ wings and brought you to Myself.
| LXX |
Now if you will indeed obey My voice and keep - My covenant , you will be treasured possession out of all the nations — for the whole earth
| LXX |
you shall be a kingdom of priests and a holy nation. ’ These are the words that you are to speak to the Israelites .... ”
| LXX |
So Moses went back and summoned the elders of the people and set before them all these words that the LORD had commanded him.
| LXX |
And all the people answered together , ... “ We will do everything that the LORD has spoken. ” So Moses brought - (their) words back to the LORD.
| LXX |
The LORD said to Moses , “ Behold , I will come to you in a dense cloud , so that the people will hear when I speak with you , and they will always put their trust And Moses - relayed to the LORD (what) the people had said.
| LXX |
Then the LORD said to Moses , “ Go ... to the people and consecrate them today and tomorrow. They must wash their clothes
| LXX |
and be prepared by the third day , for on the third day the LORD will come down on Mount Sinai in the sight of all the people.
| LXX |
And you are to set up a boundary - for the people around (the mountain) and tell them , ‘ Be careful not to go up on the mountain or touch its base. Whoever touches the mountain shall surely be put to death.
| LXX |
No hand shall touch but he shall surely be stoned or shot with arrows — whether man or beast , he must not live. ’ Only when the ram’s horn sounds a long blast may they approach the mountain. ”
| LXX |
When Moses came down from the mountain to the people , he consecrated them - - , and they washed their clothes.
| LXX |
“ Be prepared for the third day , ” he said to the people. “ Do not draw near to a woman. ”
| LXX |
On the third day , when morning ... came , there was thunder and lightning. A thick cloud was upon the mountain , and a very loud ... blast of the ram’s horn (went out) , so that all the people - in the camp trembled.
| LXX |
Then Moses - brought the people out of the camp to meet with God , and they stood at the foot of the mountain.
| LXX |
Mount Sinai was completely enveloped in smoke , because - the LORD had descended on it in fire. And the smoke rose like the smoke of a furnace , and the whole mountain quaked violently.
| LXX |
And as the sound of the ram’s horn grew louder ... and louder , Moses spoke and God answered him in the thunder.
| LXX |
The LORD descended to the top - of Mount Sinai (and) called Moses to the summit .... So (Moses) went up ,
| LXX |
and the LORD ... said to (him) , “ Go down and warn the people not to break through ... to see the LORD , (lest) many of them perish.
| LXX |
Even the priests who approach ... the LORD must consecrate themselves , or the LORD will break out
| LXX |
But Moses said to the LORD , “ The people cannot ... come up ... Mount Sinai , for You solemnly warned ... , ‘ Put a boundary around - the mountain and set it apart as holy. ’”
| LXX |
And the LORD replied - , “ Go down and bring Aaron with you. But the priests and the people must not break through to come up to the LORD , or He will break out
| LXX |
So Moses went down to the people and spoke to them.
