The People’s Fear and Request

Exodus 20:18-21

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."

So the people stood at a distance, but Moshe approached the thick darkness where God was. (A: Maftir)
