1Then God spoke all these words:
18All the people witnessed the thunder and lightning, the sound of the ram’s horn, and the mountain surrounded by smoke. When the people saw it they trembled and stood at a distance.[#20:18 Lit saw; #20:18 Sam, LXX, Syr, Tg, Vg read smoke. The people (or they ) were afraid,; #20:18 Ex 19:18; Heb 12:18]
19‘You speak to us, and we will listen,’ they said to Moses, ‘but don’t let God speak to us, or we will die.’[#20:19 Dt 5:25,27; Gl 3:19]
20Moses responded to the people, ‘Don’t be afraid, for God has come to test you, so that you will fear him and will not sin.’[#20:20 Lit that the fear of him may be in you, and you do not; #20:20 Dt 13:3; Pr 16:6; Is 8:13]
21And the people remained standing at a distance as Moses approached the total darkness where God was.[#20:21 Ex 19:16; Dt 5:22]
22Then the Lord told Moses, ‘This is what you are to say to the Israelites: You have seen that I have spoken to you from heaven.[#20:22 Dt 4:36; Neh 9:13]
23Do not make gods of silver to rival me; do not make gods of gold for yourselves.[#20:23 Ex 20:3; 32:4]
24‘Make an earthen altar for me, and sacrifice on it your burnt offerings and fellowship offerings, your flocks and herds. I will come to you and bless you in every place where I cause my name to be remembered.[#20:24 Gn 12:2; Dt 12:5; 16:6,11; 1Kg 9:3; 2Ch 6:6]
25If you make a stone altar for me, do not build it out of cut stones. If you use your chisel on it, you will defile it.[#20:25 Dt 27:5–6; Jos 8:31]
26Do not go up to my altar on steps, so that your nakedness is not exposed on it.
