And be ready against the third day: for the third day YHWH
(יהוה) will come down in the sight of all the people upon mount
Sinai.
19:1(iv) In the third month (Sivan, ziv), when the Benai Yisrael were gone forth out of the eretz of Mitzrayim, the same day came they [into] the midbar Sinai.
19:2 For they were departed from Rephidim, and were come [to] the desert of Sinai, and had pitched in the midbar; and there Yisrael camped before the mount.
19:3 And Mosheh went up unto Elohim, and YHWH (יהוה) called unto him out of the mountain, saying, Thus shalt thou say to the beit Yaakov, and tell the Benai Yisrael;
19:4 Ye have seen what I did unto the Mitzrites, and [how] I bare you on eagles' wings, and brought you unto myself.
19:5 Now therefore, if ye will obey MY Kol indeed, and keep MY Brit, then ye shall be a peculiar treasure unto Me above all people: for all the earth [is] Mine:
19:6 And ye shall be unto Me a Mamlakah Kohenim, and an Kadosh nation. These [are] the Devarim which thou shalt speak unto the Benai Yisrael.
19:7(v) And Mosheh came and called for the Ziknei haAm, and laid before their faces all these Devarim which YHWH (יהוה) commanded him.
19:8 And all the people answered together, and said, All that YHWH (יהוה) hath spoken we will do. And Mosheh returned the Devarim of the people unto YHWH (יהוה).
19:9 And YHWH (יהוה) said unto Mosheh:
"Hinnei, I come unto thee in a thick cloud, that the people may hear when I speak with thee, and believe thee for ever. And Mosheh told the Devarim of the people unto YHWH (יהוה)."
19:10 And YHWH (יהוה) said unto Mosheh, Go unto the people, and sanctify them to day and to morrow, and let them wash their clothes,
[6th sivan?]
19:11
And be ready against the third day: for the third day YHWH
(יהוה) will come down in the sight of all the people upon mount
Sinai.
19:12 And thou shalt set bounds unto the people round about, saying, Take heed to yourselves, [that ye] go [not] up into the mount, or touch the border of it: whosoever toucheth the mount shall be surely put to death:
19:13 There shall not an hand touch it, but he shall surely be stoned, or shot through; whether [it be] beast or man, it shall not live: when the shofar soundeth long, they shall come up to the mount.
19:14(S:vi) And Mosheh went down from the mount unto the people, and sanctified the people; and they washed their clothes.
19:15 And he said unto the people, Be ready against the third day: come not at [your] wives.
Wedding
Day 19:16 And it came to pass on the third day in the morning, that there were thunders and lightnings, and a thick cloud upon the mount, and the Kol of the shofar exceeding loud; so that all the people that [was] in the camp trembled.
19:17 And Mosheh brought forth the people out of the camp to meet with Elohim; and they stood at the takhti (foot, base) of the mount.
19:18 And mount Sinai was altogether on a smoke, because YHWH (יהוה) descended upon it in fire: and the smoke thereof ascended as the smoke of a furnace, and the whole mount quaked greatly.
19:19 And when the Kol of the shofar sounded long, and waxed louder and louder, Mosheh spake, and Elohim answered him by a Kol.
19:20(A:vi, S:vii) And YHWH (יהוה) came down upon mount Sinai, on the top of the mount: and YHWH (יהוה) called Mosheh [up] to the top of the mount; and Mosheh went up.
19:21 And YHWH (יהוה) said unto Mosheh:
Go down, charge the people, lest they break through unto YHWH (יהוה) to gaze, and many of them perish.
19:22 And let the Kohenim also, which come near to YHWH (יהוה), sanctify themselves, lest YHWH (יהוה) break forth upon them.
19:23 And Mosheh said unto YHWH (יהוה):
"The people cannot come up to mount Sinai: for thou chargedst us, saying, Set bounds about the mount, and sanctify it.
19:24 And YHWH (יהוה) said unto him:
Away, get thee down, and thou shalt come up, thou, and Aharon with thee: but let not the Kohenim and the people break through to come up unto YHWH (יהוה), lest he break forth upon them.
19:25 So Mosheh went down unto the people, and spake unto them.
Go to chapter 20 Ten utterances
Shemot [Exodus] 19:4
4 ‘You have seen what I did to the Egyptians, and how I bore you on wings of eagles, and brought you to Myself.’”
This phrase, I bore you on wings of eagles, is very descriptive of YHWH’s love and care, and especially of His training of His children.
When the young eaglets are at the stage in their lives that they are ready to learn how to fly, the adult eagle will allow one of the young eagles to climb up on its back. Then the adult will take off, mounting higher and higher into the air. At one point, the adult will flip upside down and dump the young off. As the young eagle tumbles toward the earth trying to find its wings, the adult eagle follows it down. At some point, if the young bird has not found its wings, the adult eagle swoops under the young eaglet, catching it, only to mount into the air again to repeat the process. This is a very apt picture of our Heavenly Father’s love and training of His children. He will not allow us to crash to the earth, but there are times in which He dumps us off His back so that we can find our own wings and learn to fly.

Mount Sinai is like unto the chuppah תּחתּיtakhti lower, lowest: - beneath (3), depths (3), foot (1), lower (4), lower parts (3), lowest (2), lowest part (1), lowest parts (1), nether (1).
