Exodus 19:11-13

Expanded Bible

¹¹ and be ready by the ·day after tomorrow [^Lthird day]. On that day I, the Lord, will come down on Mount Sinai, and all the people will see me. ¹² But you must set a ·limit around the mountain that the people are not to cross [^Lboundary around the people]. ·Tell [Warn] them not to go up on the mountain and not to touch the ·foot [edge] of it. Anyone who touches the mountain must be put to death ¹³ with stones or shot with arrows. No one is allowed to touch him [^Ctouching a dead body rendered a person ritually unclean; Num. 5:2]. Whether it is a person or an animal, he will not live. But the ·trumpet [ram’s horn] will make a long blast, and only then may the people go up on the mountain.”
