Today we have seen that a person can live even if God speaks with them. 25 But now why should we die? This great fire will consume us, and we will die if we continue to hear the voice of the LORD our God. 26 For who among all flesh has ever heard the voice of the living God speaking out of the fire, as we have, and lived?

You have come to thousands upon thousands of angels in joyful assembly, 23 to the assembly of the firstborn, whose names are written in heaven. You have come to God, the Judge of all, to the spirits of the righteous made perfect, 24 to Jesus, the mediator of a new covenant, and to the sprinkled blood that speaks a better word than the blood of Abel. 25 See to it that you do not reject the one who speaks. For if they did not escape when they refused him who warned them on earth, how much less will we, if we turn away from him who warns us from heaven? 26 At that time his voice shook the earth, but now he has promised, "Once more I will shake not only the earth but also the heavens."

Then the LORD called Moses to the top of the mountain, and Moses went up.
