Deuteronomy 4:10-15 ▼

10 The day you stood in the presence of the LORD your God in Horeb, the LORD told me, 'Gather the people before me so they may hear my words, learn to revere me the whole time that they live in the land, and teach them to their children.'|

11 |When you approached and stood at the foot of the mountain—a mountain that was blazing with fire at its core while the sky was covered with thick, dark clouds—

12 the LORD your God spoke from the midst of the fire. You heard the sound of words, but you saw no form; there was only a voice.

13 He declared to you his covenant, which he commanded you to observe—the Ten Commandments that he wrote on two stone tablets.

14 The LORD commanded me at that time to teach you to observe the statutes and ordinances in the land after you cross over to take possession of it.

15 |Therefore, for your own sake, be very careful, since you did not see any form on the day that the LORD your God spoke to you in Horeb from the midst of the fire.
