Whoever touches the mountain will surely be put to death! 13 No hand will touch him– but he will surely be stoned or shot through, whether a beast or a human being; he must not live.’ When the ram’s horn sounds a long blast they may go up on the mountain.” 14 Then Moses went down from the mountain to the people and sanctified the people, and they washed their clothes. 15 He said to the people,“Be ready for the third day. Do not approach your wives for marital relations.”
