Exodus 20:19-21

Living Bible

¹⁹ They said to Moses, “You tell us what God says and we will obey, but don’t let God speak directly to us, or it will kill us.”

²⁰ “Don’t be afraid,” Moses told them, “for God has come in this way to show you his awesome power, so that from now on you will be afraid to sin against him!”

²¹ As the people stood in the distance, Moses entered into the deep darkness where God was.
