Exodus 20:21 YLT

¹⁹  and say unto Moses, 'Speak thou with us, and we hear, and let not God speak with us, lest we die.'

²⁰  And Moses saith unto the people, 'Fear not, for to try you hath God come, and in order that His fear may be before your faces -- that ye sin not.'

²¹  And the people stand afar off, and Moses hath drawn nigh unto the thick darkness where God 'is'.

²²  And Jehovah saith unto Moses, 'Thus dost thou say unto the sons of Israel: Ye -- ye have seen that from the heavens I have spoken with you;

²³  ye do not make with Me gods of silver, even gods of gold ye do not make to yourselves.
