Exodus 20:21
19 “Speak to us yourself and we will listen,” they said to Moses. “But do not let God speak to us, or we will die.”
20 “Do not be afraid,” Moses replied. “For God has come to test you, so that the fear of Him may be before you, to keep you from sinning.”
And the people stood at a distance as Moses approached the thick darkness where God was.
22 Then the LORD said to Moses, “This is what you are to tell the Israelites: ‘You have seen for yourselves that I have spoken to you from heaven.
23 You are not to make any gods alongside Me; you are not to make for yourselves gods of silver or gold.
