Deuteronomy 5:24–33

²⁴and ye said, Behold, Jehovah our God has shewn us his glory and his greatness, and we have heard his voice from the midst of the fire: we have seen this day that God talks with man, and he lives. ²⁵And now, why should we die? for this great fire will consume us. If we hear the voice of Jehovah our God any more, we shall die. ²⁶For who is there of all flesh, that has heard the voice of the living God speaking from the midst of the fire, as we, and has lived? ²⁷Come thou near, and hear all that Jehovah our God will say; and speak thou to us all that Jehovah our God will speak to thee; and we will hear it, and do it. ²⁸And Jehovah heard the voice of your words, when ye spoke to me; and Jehovah said unto me, I have heard the voice of the words of this people that have spoken to thee: they have well spoken all that they have spoken. ²⁹Oh that there were such a heart in them, that they would fear me, and keep all my commandments continually, that it might be well with them and with their sons for ever! ³⁰Go, say unto them, Get you into your tents again. ³¹But as for thee, stand thou here by me, and I will speak unto thee all the commandments, and the statutes, and the ordinances, which thou shalt teach them, that they may do them in the land which I give them to possess it. ³²Take heed then to do as Jehovah your God hath commanded you: turn not aside to the right hand or to the left. ³³In all the way that Jehovah your God hath commanded you shall ye walk, that ye may live, and that it may be well with you, and that ye may prolong your days in the land which ye shall possess.
