¹² Then spake Solomon, The LORD said that he would dwell in the thick darkness.

² Clouds and darkness are round about him: righteousness and judgment are the habitation of his throne.

⁹ He bowed the heavens also, and came down: and darkness was under his feet.

¹⁶ Who only hath immortality, dwelling in the light which no man can approach unto; whom no man hath seen, nor can see: to whom be honour and power everlasting. Amen.

² Who coverest thyself with light as with a garment: who stretchest out the heavens like a curtain:

¹² At the brightness that was before him his thick clouds passed, hail stones and coals of fire.

¹ Then said Solomon, The LORD hath said that he would dwell in the thick darkness.

²² These words the LORD spake unto all your assembly in the mount out of the midst of the fire, of the cloud, and of the thick darkness, with a great voice: and he added no more. And he wrote them in two tables of stone, and delivered them unto me.

⁵ (I stood between the LORD and you at that time, to show you the word of the LORD: for ye were afraid by reason of the fire, and went not up into the mount;) saying,

¹⁶ And it came to pass on the third day in the morning, that there were thunders and lightnings, and a thick cloud upon the mount, and the voice of the trumpet exceeding loud; so that all the people that was in the camp trembled.

¹⁷ And Moses brought forth the people out of the camp to meet with God; and they stood at the nether part of the mount.
