And let them be ready for the third day. For on the third day Jehovah will come down upon Mount Sinai in the eyes of all the people.

And it came to pass on the third day, in the morning, that there were thunders and lightnings, and a thick cloud on the mountain; and the sound of the shofar was very loud, so that all the people who were in the camp trembled.

And Mount Sinai was completely in smoke, because Jehovah had descended upon it in fire. Its smoke ascended like the smoke of a furnace, and the whole mountain quaked greatly.

And Jehovah came down upon Mount Sinai, on the top of the mountain. And Jehovah called Moses to the top of the mountain, and Moses went up.

And he said: Jehovah has come from Sinai, and dawned on them from Seir; He has shone forth from Mount Paran, and He has come with ten thousands of saints; from His right hand a fiery Law for them.

Oh that You would rend the heavens and come down! That the mountains would quake at Your presence,

When You did awesome things which we did not look for, You came down, the mountains shook at Your presence.

God comes from Teman, and the Holy One from Mount Paran. Selah. His majesty covers the heavens, and His praise fills the earth.

And God spoke all these words, saying:

And Jehovah said unto Moses, Thus you shall say to the children of Israel: You have seen that I have spoken with you from the heavens.

The day you stood before Jehovah your God in Horeb, Jehovah said to me, Gather the people to Me, and I will make them hear My Words, that they may learn to fear Me all the days that they live on the earth, and that they may teach their children.

And Jehovah spoke to you out of the midst of the fire. You heard the sound of the words, but saw no form; you only heard a voice.

Jehovah talked with you face to face on the mountain from the midst of the fire.

These words Jehovah has spoken to all your assembly, on the mountain from the midst of the fire, the cloud, and the thick darkness, with a loud voice; and He has added no more. And He wrote them on two tablets of stone and gave them to me.

And you said, Behold, Jehovah our God has shown us His glory and His greatness, and we have heard His voice from the midst of the fire. We have seen this day that God speaks with man, yet he lives.

For who is there of all flesh who has heard the voice of the living God speaking from the midst of the fire, as we have, and lived?

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

(For they could not endure what was commanded: And if so much as a beast touches the mountain, it shall be stoned or shot with an arrow.

But you have come to Mount Zion and to the city of the living God, the Heavenly Jerusalem, to an innumerable multitude of angels,

to Jesus the Mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling that speaks better things than that 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 heavens.

And what great nation is there that has such statutes and righteous judgments as are in all this Law which I am setting before you this day?

And now, Israel, what is Jehovah your God asking of you, but to fear Jehovah your God, to walk in all His ways and to love Him, to serve Jehovah your God with all your heart and with all your soul,

and to keep the commandments of Jehovah and His statutes which I am commanding you today for your good.

The Law of Jehovah is perfect, converting the soul; the Testimony of Jehovah is sure, making wise the simple.

The fear of Jehovah is clean, enduring forever; the judgments of Jehovah are true and altogether just,

And Your servant is warned by them; in keeping them there is great reward.

Therefore I have loved Your Commandments more than gold, yea, than fine gold.

Therefore all Your Precepts have been esteemed upright; I have hated every false way.

And I gave them My statutes and showed them My judgments, which, if a man does, he shall even live by them.

But the house of Israel rebelled against Me in the wilderness; they did not walk in My statutes; they despised My judgments, which, if a man does, he shall even live by them; and they greatly defiled My Sabbaths. Then I said, I will pour out My fury upon them in the wilderness, to consume them.

Therefore the Law is holy, and the commandment holy and just and good.

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

Your Word is truth since the beginning, and every one of Your righteous judgments is everlasting.
