Exodus 19-20
‘You yourselves have seen what I did to Egypt, and how I carried you on eagles’ wings and brought you to myself. Now if you obey me fully and keep my covenant, then out of all nations you will be my treasured possession. Although the whole earth is mine, you will be for me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation.’ These are the words you are to speak to the Israelites.”
The people all responded together, “We will do everything the Lord has said.” So Moses brought their answer back to the Lord.
After Moses had gone down the mountain to the people, he consecrated them, and they washed their clothes.Then he said to the people, “Prepare yourselves for the third day. Abstain from sexual relations.”
Moses said to the Lord, “The people cannot come up Mount Sinai, because you yourself warned us, ‘Put limits around the mountain and set it apart as holy.’”
