to_o prepare_v and_o in_o that_o great_a passage_n of_o exod._n xix_o 19_o when_o god_n command_v moses_n to_o sanctify_v the_o people_n against_o the_o three_o day_n that_o he_o intend_v to_o come_v down_o among_o they_o upon_o mount_n sinai_n v_o 10._o 10._o we_o find_v by_o the_o execution_n of_o his_o commission_n that_o it_o imply_v only_o a_o solemn_a declaration_n that_o they_o shall_v be_v
