AUV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁸ [Unlike the Israelites at Mount Sinai] you [Christians] have not come to a mountain that can be touched and that burned with fire [See Ex. 19:12, 16-19; 20:18-21; Deut. 4:11]; to [a place of] darkness, gloom and wind; ¹⁹ to the blast of a trumpet and the sound of words [from God] that the hearers begged not to have to listen to [anymore]. [See Ex. 20:19]. ²⁰ For those people could not stand [hearing] the command [Ex. 19:12f], “If even an animal touches the mountain, it must be stoned [to death].” ²¹ And the sight [of all these things] was so terrifying that Moses said [See Deut. 9:19], “I tremble with fear.”
