Exodus 20:19-21

21st Century King James Version

¹⁹ And they said unto Moses, “Speak thou with us and we will hear; but let not God speak with us, lest we die.”

²⁰ And Moses said unto the people, “Fear not; for God has come to test you, and that His fear may be before your faces, that ye sin not.”

²¹ And the people stood afar off, and Moses drew near unto the thick darkness where God was.
