Bible Verses About The Law of Moses: Terror of Israel at receiving

All the people experienced the thunder, the lightning, the sound of the shofar, and the mountain smoking. When the people saw it, they trembled. Standing at a distance,

they said to Moshe, "You, speak with us; and we will listen. But don't let God speak with us, or we will die."

Moshe answered the people, "Don't be afraid, because God has come only to test you and make you fear him, so that you won't commit sins."

When you heard the voice coming out of the darkness, as the mountain blazed with fire, you came to me, all the heads of your tribes and your leaders,

and said, 'Here, ADONAI our God has shown us his glory and his greatness! We have heard his voice coming from the fire, and we have seen today that God does speak with human beings, and they stay alive.

But why should we keep risking death? This great fire will consume us! If we hear the voice of ADONAI our God any more, we will die!
