11. Mount Sinai was surrounded by deep dark clouds, and fire went up to the sky. You came to the foot of the mountain,
12. and the Lord spoke to you from the fire. You could hear him and understand what he was saying, but you couldn't see him.
13. The Lord said he was making an agreement with you, and he told you that your part of the agreement is to obey the Ten Commandments. Then the Lord wrote these Commandments on two flat stones.
14. That's when the Lord commanded me to give you the laws and teachings you must obey in the land that you will conquer west of the River Jordan.
