5:22 These words the LORD spake to all your assembly in the mount out of the midst of the fire, of the cloud, and of the thick darkness, with a great voice and he added no more. And he wrote them in two tables of stone, and delivered them to me.
5:23 And it came to pass, when ya’ll heard the voice out of the midst of the darkness,(for the mountain did burn with fire,) that ya’ll came near to me, [even] all the heads of your tribes, and your elders ;
5:24 And ya’ll said, Behold, the LORD our God has shown 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.
5:25 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.
5:26 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 [hast], and lived ?

5:28 And the LORD heard the voice of your words, when ya’ll spake to me; and the LORD said to me, I have heard the voice of the words of this people, which they have spoken to ya’ll they have well said all that they have spoken.

5:30 Go say to them, Get you into your tents again.
5:31 But as for ya’ll , stand you here by me, and I will speak to ya’ll all the commandments, and the statutes, and the judgments, which you will teach them, that they may do [them] in the land which I give them to possess it.
5:32 ya’ll shall observe to do therefore as the LORD your God has commanded you ya’ll shall not turn aside to the right hand or to the left.
5:33 ya’ll shall walk in all the ways which the LORD your God has commanded you, that ya’ll may live, and [that it may be] well with you, and [that] ya’ll may prolong [your] days in the land which ya’ll shall possess.
