19
And when the blast of the trumpet sounded long and became louder and louder, Moses spoke, and God answered him by voice.
20
Then the Lord came down upon Mount Sinai, on the top of the mountain. And the Lord called Moses to the top of the mountain, and Moses went up.
21
And the Lord said to Moses, "Go down and warn the people, lest they break through to gaze at the Lord, and many of them perish.
22
Also let the priests who come near the Lord consecrate themselves, lest the Lord break out against them."
23
But Moses said to the Lord, "The people cannot come up to Mount Sinai; for You warned us, saying, 'Set bounds around the mountain and consecrate it.' "
24
Then the Lord said to him, "Away! Get down and then come up, you and Aaron with you. But do not let the priests and the people break through to come up to the Lord, lest He break out against them."
25
So Moses went down to the people and spoke to them.
