Exodus 20:18-21 All the people were discerning the voices and the torches and the sound of the trumpet and the mountain asmoke. And the people saw and roved about and stood afar.

CLV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁸ All the people were discerning the voices and the torches and the sound of the trumpet and the mountain asmoke. And the people saw and roved about and stood afar. ¹⁹ They said to Moses: Speak you with us that we may hear; yet Elohim must not speak with us lest we die. ²⁰ Then Moses said to the people: Do not fear, for in order to probe you the One, Elohim has come, and in order that the fear of Him should come over your faces, that you may not sin. ²¹ Then the people stood afar, yet Moses, he came close to the murkiness where the One, Elohim was.
