^18 (A)For you have not come to ^(B)a mountain that can be touched and to a blazing fire, and to darkness and gloom and whirlwind, ¹⁹ and to the ^(C)blast of a trumpet and the ^(D)sound of words which was such that those who heard ^(E)begged that no further word be spoken to them. ²⁰ For they could not bear what was being commanded, “^(F)If even a beast touches the mountain, it will be stoned.” ²¹ And so terrible was what appeared, that Moses said, “^(G)I am full of fear and trembling.”
