AIn the thirde moneth after that the
children of Israel were gone out of
the londe of Egipte, they came the
same daye in to the wyldernes of Sinai (for
they were departed from Raphidim, and
wolde in to the wyldernes of Sinai) and there
they pitched in the wyldernes ouer against
the mounte. noteAnd Moses wente vp vnto
God.
noteAnd the LORDE called vnto him out of
the mount, and sayde: Thus shalt thou saye
vnto the house of Iacob, and tell the children
of Israel: Ye haue sene what I haue
done vnto the Egipcians, and how I haue
borne you vpon Aegles wynges, ∧ brought
you vnto my self. noteYf ye wyll harken now vnto
my voyce, and kepe my couenaunt, ye shalbe
myne owne before all people: for the whole
earth is myne: and ye shall be vnto me note a
presterly kingdome, and an holy people. These
are the wordes that thou shalt saye vnto
the children of Israel.
B Moses came and called for the elders of
the people, and layed before them all these
wordes, that the LORDE had commaunded.
And all the people answered together,
and sayde: note All that the LORDE hath sayde,
wyll we do.
And Moses tolde the wordes of the people
vnto the LORDE agayne. And the LORDE
sayde vnto Moses: Beholde, I wyll come
vnto the in a thicke cloude, that the people
maye heare my wordes, which I speake
vnto the, and beleue the for euer. And Moses
shewed the wordes of the people vnto
the LORDE.
The LORDE sayde vnto Moses: Go vnto
the people, and sanctifie th&ebar; to daye and
tomorow, þt; they maye wash their clothes,
and be ready agaynst the thirde daye: for
vpon the thirde daye shall the LORDE come
downe vpon mount Sinai before all the
people. And set markes rounde aboute the
people, and saye vnto them: Bewarre, that
ye go not vp in to þe; mount, ner touch þe; border
of it. noteFor whosoeuer toucheth þe; mo&ubar;t,
shal dye þe; death. There shal no h&abar;de touch
it, but he shall either be stoned, or shot thorow:
whether it be beest or man, it shal not lyue.
Whan the horne bleweth, then shal they
come vp vnto the mounte.

C Moses wente downe from the mount vnto
the people, and sanctified them. And they
wa&esset;shed their clothes. And he sayde vnto
them: Be ready agaynst the thirde daye, and
no man come at his wife.

Now whan the thirde daye came (and it
was early) it beganne to thonder and lighten,
and there was a thicke cloude vpon the
mount, and a noyse of a trompet exceadinge
mightie. And the people that were in the
tentes, were afrayde. noteAnd Moses brought
the people out of the tentes to mete &wt; God,
and they stode vnder the mount.
But all mount Sinai smoked, because þe;
LORDE came downe vp&obar; it with fyre. And
the smoke therof wente vp as the smoke of
a fornace, so that the whole mount was exceadinge
terrible. And the noyse of the trompet
w&ebar;te out, and was mightie. Moses spake,
∧ God answered him loude. Now whan
the LORDE was come downe vpon mount
Sinai, euen vpon the toppe of it, he called
Moses vp vnto þe; toppe of the mount. And
Moses wente vp.
D Then sayde the LORDE vnto him: Go
downe, and charge the people, þt; they preasse
not vnto the LORDE to se him, and so many
of them perishe. The rulers also that come
nye vnto þe; LORDE, shal sanctifie themselues,
lest the LORDE smyte th&ebar;. But Moses
sayde vnto the LORDE: The people cannot
come vp vpon mount Sinai, for thou
hast charged vs, ∧ sayde: Set markes aboute
the mount, and sanctifie it.
The LORDE sayde vnto him: Go thy
waye, get þe; downe. Thou and Aaron with
the shalt come vp: but the rulers and þe; people
shal not preasse to come vp vnto þe; LORDE,
lest he smyte th&ebar;. And Moses wente downe
to the people, and tolde them.
