You came near and stood at the foot of the mountain while it blazed with fire to the very heavens, with black clouds and deep darkness.
He parted the heavens and came down; dark clouds were under his feet.
After the earthquake came a fire, but the Lord was not in the fire. And after the fire came a gentle whisper.
He made darkness his covering, his canopy around him— the dark rain clouds of the sky.
Clouds and thick darkness surround him; righteousness and justice are the foundation of his throne.
The Lord said to Moses, “I am going to come to you in a dense cloud, so that the people will hear me speaking with you and will always put their trust in you.” Then Moses told the Lord what the people had said.
Then the Lord spoke to you out of the fire. You heard the sound of words but saw no form; there was only a voice.
When you heard the voice out of the darkness, while the mountain was ablaze with fire, all the leaders of your tribes and your elders came to me.
