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!
