Event 4 of 8
The Story of the Ten Commandments
The people stand far off
The people are afraid at the thunder and smoke and ask Moses to speak to them instead of God. Moses tells them not to fear: God has come to test them so that they will not sin.
People: Moses
Exodus 20:18–21 WEB
18All the people perceived the thunderings, the lightnings, the sound of the trumpet, and the mountain smoking. When the people saw it, they trembled, and stayed at a distance. 19They said to Moses, “Speak with us yourself, and we will listen; but don’t let God speak with us, lest we die.” 20Moses said to the people, “Don’t be afraid, for God has come to test you, and that his fear may be before you, that you won’t sin.” 21The people stayed at a distance, and Moses came near to the thick darkness where God was.
