Exodus 20:19-21

Revised Geneva Translation

¹⁹ and said to Moses, “Talk with us and we will hear! But do not let God talk with us, lest we die!”

²⁰ Then Moses said to the people, “Do not fear. For God has come to test you, and to lay His fear before you, so that you do not sin.”

²¹ So, the people stood at a distance. But Moses drew near to the darkness where God was.
