2. The Lord our God made a covenant with us in Horeb.
3. He made not the covenant with our fathers, but with us, who are now present and living.
4. He spoke to us face to face in the mount out of the midst of fire.
5. I was the mediator and stood between the Lord and you at that time, to shew you his words, for you feared the fire, and went not up into the mountain, and he said:
6. I am the Lord thy God, who brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage
7. Thou shalt not have strange gods in my sight.
