Have any people ever lived after hearing a god speak to them from a fire, as you have?

He let you hear his voice from heaven so that he could instruct you; and here on earth he let you see his holy fire, and he spoke to you from it.

There on the mountain the LORD spoke to you face-to-face from the fire.

"These are the commandments the LORD gave to all of you when you were gathered at the mountain. When he spoke with a mighty voice from the fire and from the thick clouds, he gave these commandments and no others. Then he wrote them on two stone tablets and gave them to me.

He is the one who was with the people of Israel assembled in the desert; he was there with our ancestors and with the angel who spoke to him on Mount Sinai, and he received God's living messages to pass on to us.

You are the ones who received God's law, that was handed down by angels---yet you have not obeyed it!"
