Exodus 19:20-22

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

²⁰ And the Lord came down upon mount Sinai, in the very top of the mount, and he called Moses unto the top thereof. And when he was gone up thither,

²¹ He said unto him: Go down, and charge the people: lest they should have a mind to pass the limits to see the Lord, and a very great multitude of them should perish.

²² The priests also that come to the Lord, let them be sanctified, lest he strike them.
