highlighted Exodus 19:9-22 ESV
the Lord said to Moses, "Go to the people and consecrate them today and tomorrow, and let them wash their garmentsand be ready for the third day. For on the third day the Lord will come down on Mount Sinai in the sight of all the people.And you shall set limits for the people all around, saying, 'Take care not to go up into the mountain or touch the edge of it. Whoever touches the mountain shall be put to death.No hand shall touch him, but he shall be stoned or shot; whether beast or man, he shall not live.' When the trumpet sounds a long blast, they shall come up to the mountain."So Moses went down from the mountain to the people and consecrated the people; and they washed their garments.And he said to the people, "Be ready for the third day; do not go near a woman."On the morning of the third day there were thunders and lightnings and a thick cloud on the mountain and a very loud trumpet blast, so that all the people in the camp trembled.Then Moses brought the people out of the camp to meet God, and they took their stand at the foot of the mountain.Now Mount Sinai was wrapped in smoke because the Lord had descended on it in fire. The smoke of it went up like the smoke of a kiln, and the whole mountain trembled greatly.And as the sound of the trumpet grew louder and louder, Moses spoke, and God answered him in thunder.The Lord came down on Mount Sinai, to the top of the mountain. And the Lord called Moses to the top of the mountain, and Moses went up.And the Lord said to Moses, "Go down and warn the people, lest they break through to the Lord to look and many of them perish.Also let the priests who come near to the Lord consecrate themselves, lest the Lord break out against them."And the Lord said to Moses, "Behold, I am coming to you in a thick cloud, that the people may hear when I speak with you, and may also believe you forever." When Moses told the words of the people to the Lord,

Jethro said, "Blessed be the Lord, who has delivered you out of the hand of the Egyptians and out of the hand of Pharaoh and has delivered the people from under the hand of the Egyptians.Now I know that the Lord is greater than all gods, because in this affair they dealt arrogantly with the people."And Jethro, Moses' father-in-law, brought a burnt offering and sacrifices to God; and Aaron came with all the elders of Israel to eat bread with Moses' father-in-law before God.The next day Moses sat to judge the people, and the people stood around Moses from morning till evening.When Moses' father-in-law saw all that he was doing for the people, he said, "What is this that you are doing for the people? Why do you sit alone, and all the people stand around you from morning till evening?"And Moses said to his father-in-law, "Because the people come to me to inquire of God;and the name of the other, Eliezer (for he said, "The God of my father was my help, and delivered me from the sword of Pharaoh").Jethro, Moses' father-in-law, came with his sons and his wife to Moses in the wilderness where he was encamped at the mountain of God.And when he sent word to Moses, "I, your father-in-law Jethro, am coming to you with your wife and her two sons with her,"Moses went out to meet his father-in-law and bowed down and kissed him. And they asked each other of their welfare and went into the tent.Then Moses told his father-in-law all that the Lord had done to Pharaoh and to the Egyptians for Israel's sake, all the hardship that had come upon them in the way, and how the Lord had delivered them.And Jethro rejoiced for all the good that the Lord had done to Israel, in that he had delivered them out of the hand of the Egyptians.
