²⁰  And Moses said to the people: 'Do not be afraid. For God came in order to test you, and so that the dread of him might be with you, and you would not sin.'

²¹  And the people stood far away. But Moses approached toward the mist, in which was God.

²²  Thereafter, the Lord said to Moses: 'This you shall say to the sons of Israel: You have seen that I have spoken to you from heaven.

²³  You shall not make gods of silver, nor shall you make for yourselves gods of gold.
