Exodus 19:1--20:21

19:1

In the third
<07992>

month
<02320>_,

when the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>

were gone forth
<03318> (8800)

out of the land
<0776>

of Egypt
<04714>_,

the same day
<03117>

came
<0935> (8804)

they [into] the wilderness
<04057>

of Sinai
<05514>_.

19:2

For they were departed
<05265> (8799)

from Rephidim
<07508>_,

and were come
<0935> (8799)

[to] the desert
<04057>

of Sinai
<05514>_,

and had pitched
<02583> (8799)

in the wilderness
<04057>_;

and there Israel
<03478>

camped
<02583> (8799)

before the mount
<02022>_.

19:3

And Moses
<04872>

went up
<05927> (8804)

unto God
<0430>_,

and the LORD
<03068>

called
<07121> (8799)

unto him out of the mountain
<02022>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Thus shalt thou say
<0559> (8799)

to the house
<01004>

of Jacob
<03290>_,

and tell
<05046> (8686)

the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>_;

19:4

Ye have seen
<07200> (8804)

what I did
<06213> (8804)

unto the Egyptians
<04714>_,

and [how] I bare
<05375> (8799)

you on eagles
<05404>_'

wings
<03671>_,

and brought
<0935> (8686)

you unto myself.

19:5

Now therefore, if ye will obey
<08085> (8799)

my voice
<06963>

indeed
<08085> (8800)_,

and keep
<08104> (8804)

my covenant
<01285>_,

then ye shall be a peculiar treasure
<05459>

unto me above all people
<05971>_:

for all the earth
<0776>

[is] mine:

19:6

And ye shall be unto me a kingdom
<04467>

of priests
<03548>_,

and an holy
<06918>

nation
<01471>_.

These [are] the words
<01697>

which thou shalt speak
<01696> (8762)

unto the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>_.

19:7

And Moses
<04872>

came
<0935> (8799)

and called
<07121> (8799)

for the elders
<02205>

of the people
<05971>_,

and laid
<07760> (8799)

before their faces
<06440>

all these words
<01697>

which the LORD
<03068>

commanded
<06680> (8765)

him.

19:8

And all the people
<05971>

answered
<06030> (8799)

together
<03162>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

All that the LORD
<03068>

hath spoken
<01696> (8765)

we will do
<06213> (8799)_.

And Moses
<04872>

returned
<07725> (8686)

the words
<01697>

of the people
<05971>

unto the LORD
<03068>_.

19:9

And the LORD
<03068>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto Moses
<04872>_,

Lo, I come
<0935> (8802)

unto thee in a thick
<05645>

cloud
<06051>_,

that the people
<05971>

may hear
<08085> (8799)

when I speak
<01696> (8763)

with thee, and believe
<0539> (8686)

thee for ever
<05769>_.

And Moses
<04872>

told
<05046> (8686)

the words
<01697>

of the people
<05971>

unto the LORD
<03068>_.

19:10

And the LORD
<03068>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto Moses
<04872>_,

Go
<03212> (8798)

unto the people
<05971>_,

and sanctify
<06942> (8765)

them to day
<03117>

and to morrow
<04279>_,

and let them wash
<03526> (8765)

their clothes
<08071>_,

19:11

And be ready
<03559> (8737)

against the third
<07992>

day
<03117>_:

for the third
<07992>

day
<03117>

the LORD
<03068>

will come down
<03381> (8799)

in the sight
<05869>

of all the people
<05971>

upon mount
<02022>

Sinai
<05514>_.

19:12

And thou shalt set bounds
<01379> (8689)

unto the people
<05971>

round about
<05439>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Take heed
<08104> (8734)

to yourselves, [that ye] go [not] up
<05927> (8800)

into the mount
<02022>_,

or touch
<05060> (8800)

the border
<07097>

of it: whosoever toucheth
<05060> (8802)

the mount
<02022>

shall be surely
<04191> (8800)

put to death
<04191> (8714)_:

19:13

There shall not an hand
<03027>

touch
<05060> (8799)

it, but he shall surely
<05619> (8800)

be stoned
<05619> (8735)_,

or
<0176>

shot
<03384> (8735)

through
<03384> (8800)_;

whether [it be] beast
<0929>

or
<0518>

man
<0376>_,

it shall not live
<02421> (8799)_:

when the trumpet
<03104>

soundeth long
<04900> (8800)_,

they shall come up
<05927> (8799)

to the mount
<02022>_.

{trumpet: or, cornet}

19:14

And Moses
<04872>

went down
<03381> (8799)

from the mount
<02022>

unto the people
<05971>_,

and sanctified
<06942> (8762)

the people
<05971>_;

and they washed
<03526> (8762)

their clothes
<08071>_.

19:15

And he said
<0559> (8799)

unto the people
<05971>_,

Be
<01961> (8798)

ready
<03559> (8737)

against the third
<07969>

day
<03117>_:

come
<05066> (8799)

not at [your] wives
<0802>_.

19:16

And it came to pass on the third
<07992>

day
<03117>

in the morning
<01242>_,

that there were thunders
<06963>

and lightnings
<01300>_,

and a thick
<03515>

cloud
<06051>

upon the mount
<02022>_,

and the voice
<06963>

of the trumpet
<07782>

exceeding
<03966>

loud
<02389>_;

so that all the people
<05971>

that [was] in the camp
<04264>

trembled
<02729> (8799)_.

19:17

And Moses
<04872>

brought forth
<03318> (8686)

the people
<05971>

out of the camp
<04264>

to meet
<07125> (8800)

with God
<0430>_;

and they stood
<03320> (8691)

at the nether
<08482>

part of the mount
<02022>_.

19:18

And mount
<02022>

Sinai
<05514>

was altogether on a smoke
<06225> (8804)_,

because
<06440> <0834>

the LORD
<03068>

descended
<03381> (8804)

upon it in fire
<0784>_:

and the smoke
<06227>

thereof ascended
<05927> (8799)

as the smoke
<06227>

of a furnace
<03536>_,

and the whole mount
<02022>

quaked
<02729> (8799)

greatly
<03966>_.

19:19

And when the voice
<06963>

of the trumpet
<07782>

sounded
<06963>

long
<01980> (8802)_,

and waxed louder
<02390>

and louder
<03966>_,

Moses
<04872>

spake
<01696> (8762)_,

and God
<0430>

answered
<06030> (8799)

him by a voice
<06963>_.

19:20

And the LORD
<03068>

came down
<03381> (8799)

upon mount
<02022>

Sinai
<05514>_,

on the top
<07218>

of the mount
<02022>_:

and the LORD
<03068>

called
<07121> (8799)

Moses
<04872>

[up] to
<0413>

the top
<07218>

of the mount
<02022>_;

and Moses
<04872>

went up
<05927> (8799)_.

19:21

And the LORD
<03068>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto Moses
<04872>_,

Go down
<03381> (8798)_,

charge
<05749> (8685)

the people
<05971>_,

lest they break through
<02040> (8799)

unto the LORD
<03068>

to gaze
<07200> (8800)_,

and many
<07227>

of them perish
<05307> (8804)_.

{charge: Heb. contest}

19:22

And let the priests
<03548>

also, which come near
<05066> (8737)

to the LORD
<03068>_,

sanctify
<06942> (8691)

themselves, lest the LORD
<03068>

break forth
<06555> (8799)

upon them.

19:23

And Moses
<04872>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto the LORD
<03068>_,

The people
<05971>

cannot
<03201> (8799)

come up
<05927> (8800)

to mount
<02022>

Sinai
<05514>_:

for thou chargedst
<05749> (8689)

us, saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Set bounds
<01379> (8685)

about the mount
<02022>_,

and sanctify
<06942> (8765)

it.

19:24

And the LORD
<03068>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, Away
<03212> (8798)_,

get thee down
<03381> (8798)_,

and thou shalt come up
<05927> (8804)_,

thou, and Aaron
<0175>

with thee: but let not the priests
<03548>

and the people
<05971>

break through
<02040> (8799)

to come up
<05927> (8800)

unto the LORD
<03068>_,

lest he break forth
<06555> (8799)

upon them.

19:25

So Moses
<04872>

went down
<03381> (8799)

unto the people
<05971>_,

and spake
<0559> (8799)

unto them.

20:1

And God
<0430>

spake
<01696> (8762)

all these words
<01697>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

20:2

I [am] the LORD
<03068>

thy God
<0430>_,

which have brought
<03318> (8689)

thee out of the land
<0776>

of Egypt
<04714>_,

out of the house
<01004>

of bondage
<05650>_.

{bondage: Heb. servants}

20:3

Thou shalt have no other
<0312>

gods
<0430>

before me
<06440>_.

20:4

Thou shalt not make
<06213> (8799)

unto thee any graven image
<06459>_,

or any likeness
<08544>

[of any thing] that
<0834>

[is] in heaven
<08064>

above
<04605>_,

or that [is] in the earth
<0776>

beneath, or that [is] in the water
<04325>

under the earth
<0776>_:

20:5

Thou shalt not bow down
<07812> (8691)

thyself to them, nor serve
<05647> (8714)

them: for I the LORD
<03068>

thy God
<0430>

[am] a jealous
<07067>

God
<0410>_,

visiting
<06485> (8802)

the iniquity
<05771>

of the fathers
<01>

upon the children
<01121>

unto the third
<08029>

and fourth
<07256>

[generation] of them that hate
<08130> (8802)

me;

20:6

And shewing
<06213> (8802)

mercy
<02617>

unto thousands
<0505>

of them that love
<0157> (8802)

me, and keep
<08104> (8802)

my commandments
<04687>_.

20:7

Thou shalt not take
<05375> (8799)

the name
<08034>

of the LORD
<03068>

thy God
<0430>

in vain
<07723>_;

for the LORD
<03068>

will not hold him guiltless
<05352> (8762)

that taketh
<05375> (8799)

his name
<08034>

in vain
<07723>_.

20:8

Remember
<02142> (8800)

the sabbath
<07676>

day
<03117>_,

to keep it holy
<06942> (8763)_.

20:9

Six
<08337>

days
<03117>

shalt thou labour
<05647> (8799)_,

and do
<06213> (8804)

all thy work
<04399>_:

20:10

But the seventh
<07637>

day
<03117>

[is] the sabbath
<07676>

of the LORD
<03068>

thy God
<0430>_:

[in it] thou shalt not do
<06213> (8799)

any work
<04399>_,

thou, nor thy son
<01121>_,

nor thy daughter
<01323>_,

thy manservant
<05650>_,

nor thy maidservant
<0519>_,

nor thy cattle
<0929>_,

nor thy stranger
<01616>

that [is] within thy gates
<08179>_:

20:11

For [in] six
<08337>

days
<03117>

the LORD
<03068>

made
<06213> (8804)

heaven
<08064>

and earth
<0776>_,

the sea
<03220>_,

and all that in them [is], and rested
<05117> (8799)

the seventh
<07637>

day
<03117>_:

wherefore the LORD
<03068>

blessed
<01288> (8765)

the sabbath
<07676>

day
<03117>_,

and hallowed
<06942> (8762)

it.

20:12

Honour
<03513> (8761)

thy father
<01>

and thy mother
<0517>_:

that thy days
<03117>

may be long
<0748> (8686)

upon the land
<0127>

which the LORD
<03068>

thy God
<0430>

giveth
<05414> (8802)

thee.

20:13

Thou shalt not kill
<07523> (8799)_.

20:14

Thou shalt not commit adultery
<05003> (8799)_.

20:15

Thou shalt not steal
<01589> (8799)_.

20:16

Thou shalt not bear
<06030> (8799)

false
<08267>

witness
<05707>

against thy neighbour
<07453>_.

20:17

Thou shalt not covet
<02530> (8799)

thy neighbour's
<07453>

house
<01004>_,

thou shalt not covet
<02530> (8799)

thy neighbour's
<07453>

wife
<0802>_,

nor his manservant
<05650>_,

nor his maidservant
<0519>_,

nor his ox
<07794>_,

nor his ass
<02543>_,

nor any thing that [is] thy neighbour's
<07453>_.

20:18

And all the people
<05971>

saw
<07200> (8802)

the thunderings
<06963>_,

and the lightnings
<03940>_,

and the noise
<06963>

of the trumpet
<07782>_,

and the mountain
<02022>

smoking
<06226>_:

and when the people
<05971>

saw
<07200> (8799)

[it], they removed
<05128> (8799)_,

and stood
<05975> (8799)

afar off
<07350>_.

20:19

And they said
<0559> (8799)

unto Moses
<04872>_,

Speak
<01696> (8761)

thou with us, and we will hear
<08085> (8799)_:

but let not God
<0430>

speak
<01696> (8762)

with us, lest we die
<04191> (8799)_.

20:20

And Moses
<04872>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto the people
<05971>_,

Fear
<03372> (8799)

not: for God
<0430>

is come
<0935> (8804)

to
<05668>

prove
<05254> (8763)

you, and that his fear
<03374>

may be before your faces
<06440>_,

that ye sin
<02398> (8799)

not.

20:21

And the people
<05971>

stood
<05975> (8799)

afar off
<07350>_,

and Moses
<04872>

drew near
<05066> (8738)

unto the thick darkness
<06205>

where God
<0430>

[was].
