What the Fathers say

Exodus 19:1

Western Saints

Augustine of Hippo

We come now to the desert, where the law was given, and this is what Scripture says: "But in the third month from when the people were brought out of Egypt." The Lord spoke to Moses that those who were going to receive the law should purify themselves in readiness for the third day, on which the law was to be given. So at the beginning of the third month a purification is commanded in readiness for the third day.
