ESV 16 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. MSG 16 On the third day at daybreak, there were loud claps of thunder, flashes of lightning, a thick cloud covering the mountain, and an ear-piercing trumpet blast. Everyone in the camp shuddered in fear. ESV 17 Then Moses brought the people out of the camp to meet God, and they took their stand at the foot of the mountain. MSG 17 Moses led the people out of the camp to meet God. They stood at attention at the base of the mountain. ESV 18 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. MSG 18 Mount Sinai was all smoke because God had come down on it as fire. Smoke poured from it like smoke from a furnace. The whole mountain shuddered in huge spasms. ESV 19 And as the sound of the trumpet grew louder and louder, Moses spoke, and God answered him in thunder. MSG 19 The trumpet blasts grew louder and louder. Moses spoke and God answered in thunder. ESV 20 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. MSG 20 God descended to the peak of Mount Sinai. God called Moses up to the peak and Moses climbed up.
