The People Afraid of God’s Presence
18 Now (A)all the people (B)witnessed the thunderings, the lightning flashes, the sound of the trumpet, and the mountain (C)smoking; and when the people saw it, they trembled and stood afar off. 19 Then they said to Moses, (D)“You speak with us, and we will hear; but (E)let not God speak with us, lest we die.”
20 And Moses said to the people, (F)“Do not fear; (G)for God has come to test you, and (H)that His fear may be before you, so that you may not sin.” 21 So the people stood afar off, but Moses drew near (I)the thick darkness where God was.

Exodus 17:2-7
New King James Version
2 (A)Therefore the people contended with Moses, and said, “Give us water, that we may drink.”
So Moses said to them, “Why do you contend with me? Why do you (B)tempt the Lord?”
3 And the people thirsted there for water, and the people (C)complained against Moses, and said, “Why is it you have brought us up out of Egypt, to kill us and our children and our (D)livestock with thirst?”
4 So Moses (E)cried out to the Lord, saying, “What shall I do with this people? They are almost ready to (F)stone[a] me!”
5 And the Lord said to Moses, (G)“Go on before the people, and take with you some of the elders of Israel. Also take in your hand your rod with which (H)you struck the river, and go. 6 (I)Behold, I will stand before you there on the rock in Horeb; and you shall strike the rock, and water will come out of it, that the people may drink.”
And Moses did so in the sight of the elders of Israel. 7 So he called the name of the place (J)Massah[b] and [c]Meribah, because of the contention of the children of Israel, and because they [d]tempted the Lord, saying, “Is the Lord among us or not?”
