18 All the people were seeing the thundering and the lightning, and heard the sound of the horn, and saw the mountain smoking--and when the people saw it they trembled with fear and kept their distance. 19 They said to Moses, |You speak to us and we will listen, but do not let God speak with us, lest we die.| 20 Moses said to the people, |Do not fear, for God has come to test you, that the fear of him may be before you so that you do not sin.| 21 The people kept their distance, but Moses drew near the thick darkness where God was.
