Exodus 19:12

And Moses said to Yahweh, “The people cannot come up to Mount Sinai, for You warned us, saying, ‘Set bounds about the mountain, and set it apart as holy.’”

“And no man is to come up with you, nor let any man be seen anywhere on the mountain; even the flocks and the herds may not graze in front of that mountain.”

For you have not come to a mountain that can be touched and to a blazing fire, and to darkness and gloom and whirlwind,

For they could not bear what was being commanded, “If even a beast touches the mountain, it will be stoned.”
