Exodus 19:21 in Context — Exodus 19
19 Le son de la trompette retentissait de plus en plus fortement. Moïse parlait, et Dieu lui répondait à haute voix.
20 Ainsi l’Éternel descendit sur la montagne de Sinaï, sur le sommet de la montagne; l’Éternel appela Moïse sur le sommet de la montagne. Et Moïse monta.
21 L’Éternel dit à Moïse: Descends, fais au peuple la défense expresse de se précipiter vers l’Éternel, pour regarder, de peur qu’un grand nombre d’entre eux ne périssent.
22 Que les sacrificateurs, qui s’approchent de l’Éternel, se sanctifient aussi, de peur que l’Éternel ne les frappe de mort.
23 Moïse dit à l’Éternel: Le peuple ne pourra pas monter sur la montagne de Sinaï, car tu nous en as fait la défense expresse, en disant: Fixe des limites autour de la montagne, et sanctifie-la.
