What does Exodus 19:13 mean?

'No one is to touch that person—kill them with stones or arrows. Only when the ram’s horn sounds can they come up the mountain.' Exodus 19:13 - Modern Text Bible

(The warning is strict: even accidental contact with the mountain is deadly, showing the seriousness of approaching God’s presence. The ram’s horn will signal when it’s safe.)
