Where were Israel and Moses when God spoke to them in Exodus 19?
Israel had just come out of Egypt and was gathered around Mount Sinai. Moses was up in Mount Sinai, and God was speaking to him there. Exodus 19 records this setting as God addressed Moses, who would then refer God's words back to the nation of Israel.
Les explains that in Exodus 19 Israel has just come out of Egypt and is gathered around Mount Sinai, while Moses is up in Mount Sinai and God is speaking to him. He notes God makes a tremendous statement there, beginning in verse 5, telling Moses that if Israel obeys His voice and keeps His covenant, they will be a peculiar treasure above all people. Les points out God's sovereignty, saying all the earth is His, and He can do anything He wants.
In the third month, when the children of Israel were gone forth out of the land of Egypt, the same day came they into the wilderness of Sinai.
