Exodus 19:22-25 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

22. Likewise, the priests who approach toward the Lord, let them be sanctified, lest he strike them down."

23. And Moses said to the Lord: "The people are not able to ascend to Mount Sinai. For you testified, and you commanded, saying: 'Set limits around the mountain, and sanctify it.' "

24. And the Lord said to him, "Go, descend. And you shall ascend, and Aaron with you. But let not the priests or the people transgress the limits, nor ascend to the Lord, lest perhaps he may put them to death."

25. And Moses descended to the people, and he explained everything to them.
