22 These words Jehovah spake to all your gathering in the mount, from the midst of the fire, of the cloud, and of the gloom, a great voice; and he added not: and he will write them upon two tables of stone and will give them to me. 23 And it will be as ye are hearing the voice from the midst of the darkness (and the mount burnt with fire), and ye will come near to me all the heads of your tribes, and your old men; 24 And ye will say, Jehovah our God caused us to see his glory and his greatness, and his voice we heard from the midst of the fire: this day we saw that God will speak to man and he lived. 25 And now wherefore shall we die? for this great fire will consume us: if we added to hear the voice of Jehovah our God further, and we died. 26 For who of all flesh that heard the voice of the living God speaking from the midst of the fire like us, and shall live? 27 Come thou near and hear all that Jehovah our God shall say; and thou shalt speak to us all that Jehovah our God will speak to thee: and we heard and we did.
