Exegesis
The locative al har Sinai {עַל־הַ֥ר סִינָֽי | ʿal har sî-nāy} anchors the event at the covenant mountain. Repetition of “third day” and preservation of the Hebrew causal structure underscore the solemnity and clear appointment of this theophany.
Root and etymology
ʿ-l-hayin–lamed–he
“to go up, ascend”
In context — Exodus 19:11
Let them be ready for the third day, for on the third day the LORD will come down upon Mount Sinai before the eyes of all the people.
