Jehovah our God made a covenant with us in Horeb.

And Jehovah said to Moses, Behold, I am coming to you in the thick cloud, that the people may hear when I speak with you, and believe you forever. And Moses reported the words of the people unto Jehovah.

And it came to pass on the third day, in the morning, that there were thunders and lightnings, and a thick cloud on the mountain; and the sound of the shofar was very loud, so that all the people who were in the camp trembled.

And all the people saw the thunders, the lightning flashes, the sound of the shofar, and the smoking mountain; and when the people saw it, they trembled and stood at a distance.

For you have not come to the mountain that may be touched and that burned with fire, and to blackness and darkness and tempest,

and the sound of a trumpet and the voice of words, so that those who heard it begged that the word should not be spoken to them anymore.

See to it that you do not refuse Him who speaks. For if they did not escape who refused Him who spoke on earth, much more shall we not escape if we turn away from the One speaking from Heaven,

Oh, that this heart of theirs would be fully yielded, to fear Me and to keep all My commandments at all times, that it might be well with them and with their children forever!

And Moses said to the people, Do not fear; for God has come to test you, and that His fear may be before you, that you not sin.

Only fear Jehovah, and serve Him in truth with all your heart; for consider what great things He has done for you.

Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep His commandments; for this is for every man.

And His mercy is on those who fear Him from generation to generation.

Then a voice came from the throne, saying, Praise our God, all you His servants and those who fear Him, both small and great.
