Exodus 19:15-17

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹⁵ He said to them: Be ready against the third day, and come not near your wives.

¹⁶ And now the third day was come, and the morning appeared: and behold thunders began to be heard, and lightning to flash, and a very thick cloud to cover the mount, and the noise of the trumpet sounded exceeding loud, and the people that was in the camp, feared.

¹⁷ And when Moses had brought them forth to meet God from the place of the camp, they stood at the bottom of the mount.
