Exodus 19:20-23
King James Version
20 And the Lord came down upon mount Sinai, on the top of the mount: and the Lord called Moses up to the top of the mount; and Moses went up.
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.

New International Version
20 The Lord descended to the top of Mount Sinai(A) and called Moses to the top of the mountain. So Moses went up 21 and the Lord said to him, “Go down and warn the people so they do not force their way through to see(B) the Lord and many of them perish.(C) 22 Even the priests, who approach(D) the Lord, must consecrate(E) themselves, or the Lord will break out against them.”(F)
23 Moses said to the Lord, “The people cannot come up Mount Sinai,(G) because you yourself warned us, ‘Put limits(H) around the mountain and set it apart as holy.’”
