23. And it came to pass, when you heard the voice out of the midst of the darkness, (for the mountain did burn with fire,) that you came near unto me, even all the heads of your tribes, and your elders;
24. And you said, Behold, the LORD our God has showed us his glory and his greatness, and we have heard his voice out of the midst of the fire: we have seen this day that God does talk with man, and he lives.
25. Now therefore why should we die? for this great fire will consume us: if we hear the voice of the LORD our God any more, then we shall die.
26. For who is there of all flesh, that has heard the voice of the living God speaking out of the midst of the fire, as we have, and lived?
27. Go you near, and hear all that the LORD our God shall say: and speak you unto us all that the LORD our God shall speak unto you; and we will hear it, and do it.
28. And the LORD heard the voice of your words, when you spoke unto me; and the LORD said unto me,
29. O that there were such a heart in them, that they would fear me, and keep all my commandments always, that it might be well with them, and with their children forever!
30. Go say to them, Get you into your tents again.
31. But as for you, stand you here by me, and I will speak unto you all the commandments, and the statutes, and the judgments, which you shall teach them, that they may do them in the land which I give them to possess it.
32. You shall observe to do therefore as the LORD your God has commanded you: you shall not turn aside to the right hand or to the left.
