Exodus 19:21-23

Authorized (King James) Version

²¹ And the Lord said unto Moses, Go down, charge the people, lest they break through unto the Lord to gaze, and many of them perish. ²² And let the priests also, which come near to the Lord, sanctify themselves, lest the Lord break forth upon them. ²³ And Moses said unto the Lord, The people cannot come up to mount Sinai: for thou chargedst us, saying, Set bounds about the mount, and sanctify it.
