Exodus 20:19-21

Evangelical Heritage Version

¹⁹ Then they said to Moses, “Speak with us yourself, and we will listen, but do not let God speak with us, or we will die.”

²⁰ Moses said to the people, “Do not be afraid, for God has come to test you, so that you may always fear him, so that you do not sin.”

²¹ The people stayed at a distance, but Moses approached the thick darkness where God was.
