^{24 Ref} and ye said, Behold, Jehovah our God hath showed us his glory and his greatness, and we have heard his voice out of the midst of the fire: we have seen this day that God doth speak with man, and he liveth.

^{25 Ref} Now therefore why should we die? for this great fire will consume us: if we hear the voice of Jehovah our God any more, then we shall die.

^{26 Ref} For who is there of all flesh, that hath heard the voice of the living God speaking out of the midst of the fire, as we have, and lived?

^{27 Ref} Go thou near, and hear all that Jehovah our God shall say: and speak thou unto us all that Jehovah our God shall speak unto thee; and we will hear it, and do it.
