Exodus 19:22

Let the priests also, who approach the Lord, sanctify themselves, lest the Lord break through ¹  against them.”

Ex 19:5,14,15; Ex 24:5; Le 10:1-3; 2Sa 6:6-8; 1Ch 13:9-11; 1Ch 15:13; 2Ch 30:3,15,18,19; Isa 52:11; Ac 5:5,10; 1Co 11:30-32

¹ tn The verb יִפְרֹץ (yifrots) is the imperfect tense from פָּרַץ (parats, “to make a breach, to break through”). The image of Yahweh breaking forth on them means “work destruction” (see 2 Sam 6:8; S. R. Driver, Exodus, 174).
