Context of Deuteronomy 5:27

25But now we think that this great fire will kill us. We do not want to die! If we continue to hear the voice of the Lord our God, we will surely die. 26The God who lives for ever has spoken to us from the middle of the fire. Has anyone ever heard him speak like that and then continued to live? We ask you to go near to the Lord our God. Listen to everything that he says. Then you should tell us what he says to you. We will listen carefully and we will obey him.’ 28The Lord heard what you said to me. He said to me, ‘I have heard what these people have said to you. What they said is right. 29I really want them to respect me with fear. I want them to obey my commands in the future! If they do that, everything will be well for them and for their descendants for ever.

• Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 23-33Verses 23-33 Moses refers to the consternation caused by the terror with which the law was given.
