When the sound of the trumpet grew louder and louder, Moses spoke, and God answered him by a voice.

They saw the God of Israel. Under his feet was like a paved work of sapphire stone, like the skies for clearness.

Yahweh spoke to Moses face to face, as a man speaks to his friend. He turned again into the camp, but his servant Joshua, the son of Nun, a young man, didn’t depart from the Tent.

Did a people ever hear the voice of God speaking out of the middle of the fire, as you have heard, and live?
