Exodus 19:20

Read in context

Exodus 19:18–22 · Berean Standard Bible

18 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.

19 And as the sound of the ram’s horn grew louder and louder, Moses spoke and God answered him in the thunder.

20 The LORD descended to the top of Mount Sinai and called Moses to the summit. So Moses went up,

21 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.

22 Even the priests who approach the LORD must consecrate themselves, or the LORD will break out against them.”
