And let them be ready for the third day, for on the third day the Lord will descend upon Mount Sinai before all the people.

And it came to pass on the third day, as the morning drew nigh, there were voices and lightnings and a dark cloud on Mount Sinai. The voice of the trumpet sounded loud, and all the people in the camp trembled.

Now Mount Sinai was altogether in smoke, because God had descended upon it in fire; and the smoke went up like the smoke of a furnace, and the people were exceedingly amazed.

And 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.

And he said, The Lord has come from Sinai, and has appeared from Seir to us, and has shone forth from Mount Paran, with the ten thousands of Kadesh; on His right hand [were] His angels with Him.

If you would open the heaven, trembling will take hold upon the mountains from You, and they shall melt,

whenever You shall work gloriously; trembling from You shall take hold upon the mountains.

God shall come from Teman, and the Holy One from the dark shady Mount Paran. Pause.

And the Lord spoke all these words, saying:

And the Lord said to Moses, Thus shall you say to the house of Jacob, and you shall report it to the children of Israel, You have seen that I have spoken to you from heaven.

[even the things that happened in] the day in which you stood before the Lord our God in Horeb in the day of the assembly; for the Lord said to me, Gather the people to Me, and let them hear My words, that they may learn to fear Me all the days which they live upon the earth, and they shall teach their sons.

And the Lord spoke to you out of the midst of the fire a voice of words, which you heard: and you saw no likeness, only [you heard] a voice.

The Lord spoke to you face to face in the mountain out of the midst of the fire.

These words the Lord spoke to all the assembly of you in the mountain out of the midst of the fire- [there was] darkness, blackness, a storm, [and] a loud voice- and He added no more, and He wrote them on two tablets of stone, and He gave them to me.

and you said, Behold, the Lord our God has shown us His glory, and we have heard His voice out of the midst of the fire: this day we have seen that God shall speak to man, and he shall live.

For what man [is there,] who has heard the voice of the living God, speaking out of the midst of the fire, as we [have heard], and shall live?

For you have not come to the mountain that may be touched and that burned with fire, and to blackness and darkness and to a whirlwind,

For they could not bear that [which] was commanded: "And if so much as a beast touches the mountain, it shall be stoned."

But you have come to Zion, to the Mountain and city of the living God, to a heavenly Jerusalem, and to myriads of angels,

and to Jesus, the Mediator of a new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling which speaks better things than the [blood] of Abel.

whose voice then shook the earth; but now He has promised, saying, "Yet once more I shake not only the earth, but also the heaven."

And what manner of nation [is so] great, which has righteous statutes and judgments according to all this law, which I set before you this day?

And now, O Israel, what does the Lord your God require of you, but to fear the Lord your God, and to walk in all His ways, and to love Him, and to serve the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul;

to keep the commandments of the Lord your God, and His statutes, all that I command you this day, that it may be well with you?

The law of the Lord is perfect, converting souls; the testimony of the Lord is faithful, instructing babes.

The fear of the Lord is pure, enduring forever and ever: the judgments of the Lord are true, [and] justified altogether.

For Your servant keeps to them; in the keeping of them [there is] great reward.

Therefore have I loved Your commandments more than gold, or topaz.

Therefore I directed myself [according] to all Your commandments; I have hated every unjust way.

And I gave them My commandments, and made known to them My ordinances, all which [if] a man shall do, he shall even live in them.

And I said to the house of Israel in the wilderness, Walk in My commandments: but they walked not [in them], and they rejected My ordinances, which [if] a man shall do, he shall even live in them; and they grievously profaned My Sabbaths. And I said that I would pour out My wrath upon them in the wilderness, to consume them.

Therefore the law indeed is holy, and the commandment holy and righteous and good.

For we know that the law is spiritual, but I am carnal, having been sold under sin.

The beginning of Your words is truth; and all the judgments of Your righteousness [endure] forever.
