Hebrew
בַּחֹדֶשׁ הַשְּׁלִישִׁי לְצֵאת בְּנֵי־יִשְׂרָאֵל מֵאֶרֶץ מִצְרָיִם בַּיּוֹם הַזֶּה בָּאוּ מִדְבַּר
סִינָי׃ וַיִּסְעוּ מֵרְפִידִים וַיָּבֹאוּ מִדְבַּר סִינַי וַיַּחֲנוּ בַּמִּדְבָּר וַיִּחַן־שָׁם יִשְׂרָאֵל
נֶגֶד הָהָר׃ וּמֹשֶׁה עָלָה אֶל־הָאֱלֹהִים וַיִּקְרָא אֵלָיו יְהוָה מִן־הָהָר לֵאמֹר כֹּה
תֹּאמַר לְבֵית יַעֲקֹב וְתַגֵּיד לִבְנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל׃ אַתֶּם רְאִיתֶם אֲשֶׁר עָשִׂיתִי לְמִצְרָיִם
וָאֶשָּׂא אֶתְכֶם עַל־כַּנְפֵי נְשָׁרִים וָאָבִא אֶתְכֶם אֵלָי׃ וְעַתָּה אִם־שָׁמוֹעַ תִּשְׁמְעוּ
בְּקֹלִי וּשְׁמַרְתֶּם אֶת־בְּרִיתִי וִהְיִיתֶם לִי סְגֻלָּה מִכָּל־הָעַמִּים כִּי־לִי כָּל־הָאָרֶץ׃
וְאַתֶּם תִּהְיוּ־לִי מַמְלֶכֶת כֹּהֲנִים וְגוֹי קָדוֹשׁ אֵלֶּה הַדְּבָרִים אֲשֶׁר תְּדַבֵּר אֶל־
בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל׃ וַיָּבֹא מֹשֶׁה וַיִּקְרָא לְזִקְנֵי הָעָם וַיָּשֶׂם לִפְנֵיהֶם אֵת כָּל־הַדְּבָרִים
הָאֵלֶּה אֲשֶׁר צִוָּהוּ יְהוָה׃ וַיַּעֲנוּ כָל־הָעָם יַחְדָּו וַיֹּאמְרוּ כֹּל אֲשֶׁר־דִּבֶּר יְהוָה
נַעֲשֶׂה וַיָּשֶׁב מֹשֶׁה אֶת־דִּבְרֵי הָעָם אֶל־יְהוָה׃ וַיֹּאמֶר יְהוָה אֶל־מֹשֶׁה הִנֵּה
אָנֹכִי בָּא אֵלֶיךָ בְּעַב הֶעָנָן בַּעֲבוּר יִשְׁמַע הָעָם בְּדַבְּרִי עִמָּךְ וְגַם־בְּךָ יַאֲמִינוּ
לְעוֹלָם וַיַּגֵּד מֹשֶׁה אֶת־דִּבְרֵי הָעָם אֶל־יְהוָה׃ וַיֹּאמֶר יְהוָה אֶל־מֹשֶׁה לֵךְ
אֶל־הָעָם וְקִדַּשְׁתָּם הַיּוֹם וּמָחָר וְכִבְּסוּ שִׂמְלֹתָם׃ וְהָיוּ נְכֹנִים לַיּוֹם הַשְּׁלִישִׁי
כִּי ׀ בַּיּוֹם הַשְּׁלִישִׁי יֵרֵד יְהוָה לְעֵינֵי כָל־הָעָם עַל־הַר סִינָי׃ וְהִגְבַּלְתָּ אֶת־הָעָם
סָבִיב לֵאמֹר הִשָּׁמְרוּ לָכֶם עֲלוֹת בָּהָר וּנְגֹעַ בְּקָצֵהוּ כָּל־הַנֹּגֵעַ בָּהָר מוֹת יוּמָת׃
לֹא־תִגַּע בּוֹ יָד כִּי־סָקוֹל יִסָּקֵל אוֹ־יָרֹה יִיָּרֶה אִם־בְּהֵמָה אִם־אִישׁ לֹא יִחְיֶה

On the third new moon after the people of Israel had left the land of Egypt, on that first day, they arrived at the wilderness of Sinai. They had traveled from Refidim and they arrived in the wilderness of Sinai, and encamped there in the desert; there, in view of the mountain, Israel laid out its camp. And there Moses ascended to God; and the LORD called out to him from the mountain, telling him, "This you must say to the house of Jacob, must tell the house of Israel: You have seen what I did in Egypt; and how I lifted you high, on the wings of eagles, and brought you to Me. And now - if you will listen to My voice, if you will guard close My covenant, you shall be My treasure among all the peoples - for all the earth is Mine; but you shall be a kingdom of priests to Me, a holy nation. These are the words you must say to the children of Israel." So Moses came back, and called together the elders of the people, and laid out before them all these words with which the LORD had charged him. And all the people responded as one: "All that the LORD has spoken, we shall perform." And Moses brought the words of the people back to the LORD. The LORD said to Moses, "I shall come to you in the thick of the cloud, that the people may hear as I speak to you, that they should believe in you also, forever," and Moses told the LORD what the people had said. "Go to the people," said the LORD to Moses, "And have them consecrate themselves today and tomorrow, and wash their clothes. Be sure they are ready for the third day, for on the third day the LORD shall descend to Mount Sinai, in the sight of all the people. Mark a boundary for the people around, and tell them: Take care not to climb the mountain, or even to touch its edge, for anyone who touches the mountain shall die. Let no hand touch it, for that person will be stoned or shot down; man or beast, he shall not live. Only when the horn sounds a long blast, may you ascend the mountain again."
