SPECIAL NOTE:
[ I will again be working through the Scriptures from Genesis to Revelation. I will be adding links, resources, images, and the like, upgrading the former work-through which began with the 2013-10-12 posting which can be found, along with the full Genesis to Revelation postings, in the Archive Page. Postings will be at midnight Eastern Time, as I am able. However, no days will be skipped, even though a posting may be late. And all postings will be housed in the Archive Page. ]
Explanation: In Exodus 19 the LORD prepares to give the Law on Mount Sinai, often identified as Jebel Musa, alternately identified by some as Jebel el Lawz next to a well watered plain in Midian in Arabia (Exodus 3:1,12; Galatians 4:25). In mid-May, three months after leaving Egypt, Israel arrived at Mount Sinai in the Wilderness of Sinai. The LORD called Moses up to the mountain while Israel remained in the camp. The LORD told him to tell the people to remember what they did to the Egyptians and brought them to himself to be a treasured possession, a kingdom of priests, and a holy nation (1-6). So Moses assembled the elders and told them these words; and the people promised to do all that the LORD commanded. The LORD then told Moses that he was coming to him in a thick cloud so that the people could hear him speak and believe him forever (7-9). The LORD then told Moses to consecrate themselves for the next two days, to wash their garments, and to have no marital relations. He also commanded that neither man nor beast should touch the mountain, lest they be put to death (10-15). On the third day the mountain was shaken with thunder and lightning. It was covered with a thick cloud. A very loud trumpet blast sounded out, causing the people to tremble. And Moses brought the people out of their tents to stand before God at the foot of the mountain. Smoke and fire from the presence of the LORD wrapped the mountain; and the LORD called Moses up to the mountain again (16-20). As soon as Moses came before the LORD, the LORD sent him down again to warn the people again not to come past the barriers around the mountain; and the LORD commanded him to bring Aaron (21-25).

[ Illustration: The five images above illustrate the first events at Sinai: the arrival, the presence of the LORD on Sinai, the traditional image of Mount Sinai; an alternate candidate for Mount Sinai, and the second warning against coming on the mountain given by Moses to the people. The second image interprets Mount Sinai as a volcano. It is doubtful that the mountain was volcanic; but some of the effects described in various Scriptures indicate volcano-like effects (particularly some sort of "melting") produced by the presence of the LORD. Exodus 19 verse 18 says that the mountain "quaked greatly" ["shuddered vehemently" - Strong's numbers H2729 and H3966]. Several Scriptures speak of the effect of this as producing some sort of "melt" or "flow" -- perhaps volcanic, but quite possibly avalanches, or the like. The following Scriptures use the following terms for this "melt" or "flow" -- Several Scriptures speak of the effect of this as producing some sort of "melt" or "flow" -- perhaps volcanic, but quite possibly avalanches, or the like. The following Scriptures use the following terms for this "melt" or "flow" -- Psalms 68:8; Psalms 97:5; Isaiah 64:1-3; Judges 5:4-5; Nahum 1:5 (H5197; H4549; H2151; H5140; H4127 -- respectively). ]
RESOURCES
PLEASE NOTE: Use the resources on this and other sites thoughtfully, particularly the commentaries and encyclopedias. I have attempted to list conservative, scholarly resources. However, some providers use liberal or liberal-influenced commentaries such as the Cambridge Bible for Schools and Colleges (in Bible Hub). Such commentaries are undoubtedly included by the provider for the wealth of useful information and comments which they provide. By consulting several commentaries, it should be fairly easy to sort out the wheat from the chaff. If, however, you would like personal assistance, write to me at AD LIB ARTS EMAIL.

1 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.
2 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.
3 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;
4 Ye have seen what I did unto the Egyptians, and how I bare you on eagles' wings, and bought you unto myself.
5 Now therefore, if ye will obey my voice indeed [to listen you shall listen to my voice], and keep my covenant, then ye shall be a peculiar treasure unto me above all people: for all the earth is mine:
6 And ye shall be unto me a kingdom of priests, and an holy nation. These are the words which thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel.
7 And Moses came and called for the elders of the people, and laid before their faces all these words which the LORD commanded him.
8 And all the people answered together, and said, All that the LORD hath spoken we will do. And Moses returned the words of the people unto the LORD.
9 And the LORD said unto Moses, Lo, I come unto thee in a thick cloud, that the people may hear when I speak with thee, and believe thee for ever. And Moses told the words of the people unto the LORD.
10 And the LORD said unto Moses, Go unto the people, and sanctify them to day and to morrow, and let them wash their clothes,
11 And be ready against the third day: for the third day the LORD will come down in the sight of all the people upon mount Sinai.
12 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 [to be put to death he shall be put to death]:
13 There shall not an hand touch it, but he shall surely be stoned [to be stoned he shall be stoned], or shot through [to be shot he shall be shot] whether beast or man, it shall not live: when the trumpet soundeth long, they shall come up to the mount.
14 And Moses went down from the mount unto the people, and sanctified the people; and they washed their clothes.
15 And he said unto the people, Be ready against the third day: come not at your wives.
16 And it came to pass on the third day in the morning, that there were thunders and lightnings, and a thick cloud upon the mount, and the voice of the trumpet exceeding loud; so that all the people that was in the camp trembled.
17 And Moses bought forth the people out of the camp to meet with God; and they stood at the nether part of the mount.
18 And mount Sinai was altogether on a smoke, because the LORD descended upon it in fire: and the smoke thereof ascended as the smoke of a furnace, and the whole mount quaked greatly.
19 And when the voice of the trumpet sounded long, and waxed louder and louder [waxed louder exceedingly], Moses spake, and God answered him by a voice.
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.
24 And the LORD said unto him, Away, get thee down, and thou shalt come up, thou, and Aaron with thee: but let not the priests and the people break through to come up unto the LORD, lest he break forth upon them.
25 So Moses went down unto the people, and spake unto them.
