And he wrote^H3789^(H8799) them in two^H8147 tables^H3871 of stone^H68, and delivered^H5414^(H8799) them unto me.

²³ When you heard the voice out of the middle of the darkness, while the mountain was burning with fire, you came near to me, even all the heads of your tribes, and your elders;

KJVAnd it came to pass, when ye heard^H8085^(H8800) the voice^H6963 out of the midst^H8432 of the darkness^H2822,(for the mountain^H2022 did burn^H1197^(H8802) with fire^H784,) that ye came near^H7126^(H8799) unto me, even all the heads^H7218 of your tribes^H7626, and your elders^H2205;

²⁴ and you said, “Behold, Yahweh our God has shown us his glory and his greatness, and we have heard his voice out of the middle of the fire. We have seen today that God does speak with man, and he lives.

KJVAnd ye said^H559^(H8799), Behold, the LORD^H3068 our God^H430 hath shewed^H7200^(H8689) us his glory^H3519 and his greatness^H1433, and we have heard^H8085^(H8804) his voice^H6963 out of the midst^H8432 of the fire^H784: we have seen^H7200^(H8804) this day^H3117 that God^H430 doth talk^H1696^(H8762) with man^H120, and he liveth^H2425^(H8804).

KJVFor who is there of all flesh^H1320, that hath heard^H8085^(H8804) the voice^H6963 of the living^H2416 God^H430 speaking^H1696^(H8764) out of the midst^H8432 of the fire^H784, as we have, and lived^H2421^(H8799)?
