Context
5:21 You must not desire another man’s wife , nor should you crave his house , his field , his male and female servants , his ox , his donkey , or anything else he owns.”
The Narrative of the Sinai Revelation and Israel’s Response
5:22 The Lord said these things to your entire assembly at the mountain from the middle of the fire , the cloud , and the darkness with a loud voice , and that was all he said. Then he inscribed the words on two stone tablets and gave them to me.
5:23 Then, when you heard the voice from the midst of the darkness while the mountain was ablaze , all your tribal leaders and elders approached me.
5:24 You said , “The Lord our God has shown us his great glory and we have heard him speak from the middle of the fire . It is now clear to us that God can speak to human beings and they can keep on living .
5:25 But now , why should we die , because this intense fire will consume us! If we keep hearing the voice of the Lord our God we will die !
5:26 Who is there from the entire human race who has heard the voice of the living God speaking from the middle of the fire as we have, and has lived ?
5:27 You go near so that you can hear everything the Lord our God is saying and then you can tell us whatever he says to you; then we will pay attention and do it.”
5:28 When the Lord heard you speaking to me, he said to me, “I have heard what these people have said to you– they have spoken well .
5:29 If only it would really be their desire to fear me and obey all my commandments in the future , so that it may go well with them and their descendants forever .
5:30 Go and tell them, ‘Return to your tents !’
5:31 But as for you , remain here with me so I can declare to you all the commandments , statutes , and ordinances that you are to teach them, so that they can carry them out in the land I am about to give them.”
5:32 Be careful , therefore, to do exactly what the Lord your God has commanded you; do not turn right or left !
5:33 Walk just as he has commanded you so that you may live , that it may go well with you, and that you may live long in the land you are going to possess .
