Israel Requests Moses to Mediate

Deuteronomy 5:23-28

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!

For who is there of all humanity that has heard the voice of the living God speaking from the fire, as we have, and stayed alive?

You, go near; and hear everything ADONAI our God says. Then you will tell us everything ADONAI our God says to you; and we will listen to it and do it.'

"ADONAI heard what you were saying when you spoke to me, and ADONAI said to me, 'I have heard what this people has said when speaking to you, and everything they have said is good.
