Exodus 19 Bible Study, Israel arrives at Mont Sinai. What is being set apart? Consecrated?

In Exodus 19 we see Israel make it to Mount Sinai. This is a fulfilment of God’s promise to Moses back in Exodus 3. God calls Moses to consecrate the people, as his treasured possession, as a kingdom of priests, a holy nation, set apart. We talk about all this and what it means for us today to be set apart.
