18 And all the people saw the thunderings, and the lightnings, and the noise of the trumpet, and the mountain smoking: and when the people saw [it], they removed, and stood afar off.
19 And they said unto Moshe [He Who Draws Out Of The Waters], Speak youi with us, and we will hear: but let not God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] speak with us, lest we die.
20 And Moshe [He Who Draws Out Of The Waters] said unto the people, Fear not: for God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] is come to prove you, and that his fear may be before your faces, that you2f sin not.
21 And the people stood afar off, and Moshe [He Who Draws Out Of The Waters] drew near unto the thick darkness where God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] [was].
22 And the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) said unto Moshe [He Who Draws Out Of The Waters], Thus youi shall say unto the people of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God], You2f have seen that I have talked with you from heaven.
23 You2f shall not make with me gods of silver, neither shall you2f make unto you gods of gold.
24 An altar of earth youi shall make unto me, and shall sacrifice thereon youi burnt offerings, and youi peace offerings, youi sheep, and youi oxen: in all places where I record my name I will come unto youi, and I will bless youi.
25 And if youi will make me an altar of stone, youi shall not build it of cut stone: for if youi lift up youi tool upon it, youi have polluted it.
26 Neither shall youi go up by steps unto my altar, that youi nakedness be not discovered thereon.
