Douay Bible - Exodus Chapter 19

Exodus 19:1
In the third month of the departure of Israel out of the land of Egypt, on this day they came into the wilderness of Sinai:

Exodus 19:2
For departing out of Raphidim, and coming to the desert of Sinai, they camped in the same place, and there Israel pitched their tents over against the mountain.

Exodus 19:3
And Moses went up to God: and the Lord called unto him from the mountain, and said: Thus shalt thou say to the house of Jacob, and tell the children of Israel:

Exodus 19:4
You have seen what I have done to the Egyptians, how I have carried you upon the wings of eagles, and have taken you to myself.

Exodus 19:5
If therefore you will hear my voice, and keep my covenant, you shall be my peculiar possession above all people: for all the earth is mine.

Exodus 19:6
And you shall be to me a priestly kingdom, and a holy nation. Those are the words thou shalt speak to the children of Israel.

Exodus 19:7
Moses came, and calling together the elders of the people, he declared all the words which the Lord had commanded.

Exodus 19:8
And all the people answered together: All that the Lord hath spoken, we will do. And when Moses had related the people’s words to the Lord,

Exodus 19:9
The Lord said to him: Lo, now will I come to thee in the darkness of a cloud, that the people may hear me speaking to thee, and may believe thee for ever. And Moses told the words of the people to the Lord.

Exodus 19:10
And he said to him: Go to the people, and sanctify them to day, and to morrow, and let them wash their garments.

Exodus 19:11
And let them be ready against the third day: for on the third day the Lord will come down in the sight of all the people upon mount Sinai.

Exodus 19:12
And thou shalt appoint certain limits to the people round about, and thou shalt say to them: Take heed you go not up into the mount, and that ye touch not the borders thereof: every one that toucheth the mount dying he shall die.

Exodus 19:13
No hands shall touch him, but he shall be stoned to death, or shall be shot through with arrows: whether it be beast, or man, he shall not live. When the trumpet shall begin to sound, then let them go up into the mount.

Exodus 19:14
And Moses came down from the mount to the people, and sanctified them. And when they had washed their garments,

Exodus 19:15
He said to them: Be ready against the third day, and come not near your wives.

Exodus 19:16
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.

Exodus 19:17
And when Moses had brought them forth to meet God from the place of the camp, they stood at the bottom of the mount.

Exodus 19:18
And all mount sinai was on a smoke: because the Lord was come down upon it in fire, and the smoke arose from it as out of a furnace: and all the mount was terrible.

Exodus 19:19
And the sound of the trumpet grew by degrees louder and louder, and was drawn out to a greater length: Moses spoke, and God answered him.

Exodus 19:20
And the Lord came down upon mount Sinai, in the very top of the mount, and he called Moses unto the top thereof. And when he was gone up thither,

Exodus 19:21
He said unto him: Go down, and charge the people: lest they should have a mind to pass the limits to see the Lord, and a very great multitude of them should perish.

Exodus 19:22
The priests also that come to the Lord, let them be sanctified, lest he strike them.

Exodus 19:23
And Moses said to the Lord: The people cannot come up to mount Sinai: for thou did charge, and command, saying: Set limits about the mount, and sanctify it.

Exodus 19:24
And the Lord said to him: Go, get thee down: and thou shalt come up, thou and Aaron with thee: but let not the priests and the people pass the limits, nor come up to the Lord, lest he kill them.

Exodus 19:25
And Moses went down to the people and told them all.

Introduction to the Douay-Rheims Bible

The Douay-Rheims Bible is an English translation of the Latin Vulgate, a 4th-century Latin translation of the Bible. It was published in the late 16th and early 17th centuries for English-speaking Catholics. The New Testament was published in 1582 and the Old Testament in 1609-10. It is considered one of the most influential English Bibles of the time. The Douay-Rheims Bible differs from other versions in several ways: Translation source: Unlike many other English Bibles that were translated from the original Greek and Hebrew texts, the Douay-Rheims was translated from the Latin Vulgate, which was the standard version of the Bible for the Catholic Church for many centuries. Language: The Douay-Rheims uses an archaic form of English, making it difficult for modern readers to understand. Theology: The Douay-Rheims reflects the theology of the Catholic Church, including its views on the authority of the Pope and the sacraments. Footnotes and commentary: The Douay-Rhe...
