| In the third month, when the children of Israel were gone forth out of the land of Egypt, the same day came they into the wilderness of Sinai.
|
|In the third month that the sons of [[Israel]] had gone out of the land of [[Egypt]], on this day they came into the wilderness of [[Sinai]].
|
|That is, [[Sivan]]. The first month was [[Abib]], or the modern [[Nisan]]. If the day of the month is not named, and especially when Hebrew uses the phrase "this day", the first day of the month is implied.

| For they were departed from Rephidim, and were come to the desert of Sinai, and had pitched in the wilderness; and there Israel camped before the mount.
|
|They were moving out of [[Rephidim]] and had now come to the wilderness of Sinai, and were encamped in the wilderness. There Israel was encamped in front of the mountain.
|
|That is, before its eastern face. "Front" and "back" mean literally the sunrise and sunset face.

| And Moses went up unto God, and the LORD called unto him out of the mountain, saying, Thus shalt thou say to the house of Jacob, and tell the children of Israel;
|
|[[Moses]] went up to [[God]], and the [[YHWH|L<small>ORD</small>]] called to him from the mountain, to say, "Say this to the house of [[Jacob]], and tell the sons of [[Israel]]:"

| Ye have seen what I did unto the Egyptians, and how I bare you on eagles' wings, and brought you unto myself.
| Ye have seen what I did unto the Egyptians, and how I bare you on eagles' wings, and brought you unto myself.
|
|"'You have all seen what I did to the [[Egypt]]ians, and how I carried you on the wings of great birds, and brought you to Myself.'"
|
|The bird spoken of is the black [[vulture]] ''Gyps fulvus'', that has a wingspan comparable to that of an [[eagle]]; hence the translation as "eagle" in the [[KJV]].

| Now therefore, if ye will obey my voice indeed, and keep my covenant, then ye shall be a peculiar treasure unto me above all people: for all the earth is mine:
|
|"'Now if you are really prepared to listen to My voice, and honor My covenant, then you will become very special to Me out of all peoples; because all the earth belongs to Me.'"

|
|Then the L<small>ORD</small> told Moses, "Look: I am coming to you in a thick cloud, so that the people can hear when I speak with you, and believe you forever." Moses repeated the words of the people to the L<small>ORD</small>.

|
|The L<small>ORD</small> said to Moses, "Go to the people, and sanctify them today and tomorrow, and have them rinse their garments."
|
|This rinsing was ceremonial.

| And thou shalt set bounds unto the people round about, saying, Take heed to yourselves, that ye go not up into the mount, or touch the border of it: whosoever toucheth the mount shall be surely put to death:
|
|"You are to set a boundary to the people all around, and tell them, 'Watch yourselves, and do not ascend the mountain, or even touch its outermost reaches. Anyone who touches the mountain will certainly be put to death."
|
|The Hebrew repeats the phrase "put to death" for emphasis.

|
|"Not one hand is to touch it, or else the owner of that hand is to be stoned or shot. Be he beast or man, he will not live. When the trumpet blows a long note, then they will come up to the mountain."
|
|The "trumpet" is actually a special horn blown at the Jubilee (still to be defined).

|
|Mount Sinai was completely covered with smoke, because the L<small>ORD</small> had descended upon it in fire. The smoke of that fire went up like the smoke of a limekiln, and the entire mountain shook very hard.
|
|In other words, Sinai behaved for all the world like a [[volcano]], but the fire and quaking came from above the mountain, not from within.
