New American Standard Bible
Chapter 20
19Then they said to Moses, 'Speak to us yourself and we will listen; but do not have God speak to us, or we will die!' 20However, Moses said to the people, 'Do not be afraid; for God has come in order to test you, and in order that the fear of Him may remain with you, so that you will not sin.' 21So the people stood at a distance, while Moses approached the thick darkness where God was.King James Version
Chapter 20
19And they said unto Moses, Speak thou with us, and we will hear: but let not God speak with us, lest we die. 20And Moses said unto the people, Fear not: for God is come to prove you, and that his fear may be before your faces, that ye sin not. 21And the people stood afar off, and Moses drew near unto the thick darkness where God was. 22And the Lord said unto Moses, Thus thou shalt say unto the children of Israel, Ye have seen that I have talked with you from heaven. 23Ye shall not make with me gods of silver, neither shall ye make unto you gods of gold.Christian Standard Bible
