Exodus 20:18-20

18And 1allH3605 the peopleH5971 were watchingH7200 and hearing the 2thunderH6963 and the lightningH3940 flashesH3940, and the soundH6963 of the trumpetH7782, and the mountainH2022 smokingH6226; and when the peopleH5971 sawH7200 it all, they trembledH5128 and stoodH5975 at a distanceH7350.

193Then they saidH559 to MosesH4872, “SpeakH1696 4to us yourselfH859 and we will listenH8085; but do not have GodH430 speakH1696 5to us, orH6435 we will dieH4191!”

20However, MosesH4872 saidH559 to the peopleH5971, “6Do not beH3372 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 will not sinH2398.”
