The LORD also said to Moses, “Go to the people and consecrate them today and tomorrow, and let them wash their garments; and let them be ready for the third day, for on the third day the LORD will come down on Mount Sinai in the sight of all the people. . . . So Moses went down from the mountain to the people and consecrated the people, and they washed their garments. (vv. 10–11, 14)
