Exodus 20:18-26
181AllH3605 the peopleH5971 perceivedH7200 the 2thunderH6963 and the lightningH3940 flashesH3940 and the soundH6963 of the trumpetH7782 and the mountainH2022 smokingH6226; and when the peopleH5971 sawH7200 it, they trembledH5128 and stoodH5975 at a distanceH7350. 193Then they saidH559 to MosesH4872, “SpeakH1696 4to us yourselfH859 and we will listenH8085; but let not GodH430 speakH1696 5to us, orH6435 we will dieH4191.” 20MosesH4872 saidH559 to the peopleH5971, “6Do not be afraidH3372; for GodH430 has comeH935 in orderH5668 7to testH5254 you, and in orderH5668 that 8the fearH3374 of Him may 9remainH1961H6440 with you, so that you may not sinH2398.” 21So the peopleH5971 stoodH5975 at a distanceH7350, while MosesH4872 approachedH5066 10the thickH6205 cloudH6205 whereH834H8033 GodH430 was.
22Then the LordH3068 saidH559 to MosesH4872, “ThusH3541 you shall sayH559 to the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478, ‘You yourselvesH864 have seenH7200 that 11I have spokenH1696 12to you from heavenH8064. 2313You shall not makeH6213 other gods besidesH854 Me; 14godsH430 of silverH3701 or godsH430 of goldH2091, you shall not makeH6213 for yourselvesH864. 24You shall makeH6213 15an altarH4196 of earthH127 for Me, and you shall sacrificeH2076 on it your 16burntH5930 offeringsH5930 and your 17peaceH8002 offeringsH8002, 18your sheepH6629 and your oxenH1241; in everyH3605 placeH4725 19whereH834 I cause My nameH8034 to be rememberedH2142, I will comeH935 to you and blessH1288 you. 25IfH518 you makeH6213 an altarH4196 of stoneH68 for Me, 20you shall not buildH1129 it of cutH1496 stonesH1496, for if you wieldH5130 your toolH2719 on it, you will profaneH2490 it. 26And you shall not goH5927 up by stepsH4609 to My altarH4196, soH834 that 21your nakednessH6172 will not be exposedH1540 on it.’
