Exodus 19:10-15

¹⁰GOD said to Moses, "Go to the people. For the next two days get these people ready to meet the Holy GOD. Have them scrub their clothese

¹¹so that on the third day they''ll be fully prepared, because on the third day GOD will come down on Mount Sinai and make his presence known to all the people.

¹²Post boundaries for the people all around, telling them, "Warning! Don''t climb the mountain. Don''t even touch its edge. Whoever touches the mountain dies--a certain death.f

¹³And no one is to touch that person, he''s to be stoned. That''s right--stoned. Or shot with arrows, shot to death. Animal or man, whichever--put to death.''"A long blast from the horn will signal that it''s safe to climb the mountain."

¹⁴Moses went down the mountain to the people and prepared them for the holy meeting. They gave their clothes a good scrubbing.

¹⁵Then he addressed the people: "Be ready in three days. Don''t sleep with a woman."
