Exodus 19:22-24

New American Standard Bible 1995

²² Also let the ^(A)priests who come near to the Lord consecrate themselves, or else the Lord will break out against them.” ²³ Moses said to the Lord, “The people cannot come up to Mount Sinai, for You ^[a]warned us, saying, ‘^(B)Set bounds about the mountain and consecrate it.’” ²⁴ Then the Lord said to him, “^[b]Go down and come up again, ^(C)you and Aaron with you; but do not let the ^(D)priests and the people break through to come up to the Lord, or He will break forth upon them.”
