Moses Interceded

Deu 5:22

Deu 5:22"These words the LORD spoke to all your assembly at the mountain out of the midst of the fire, the cloud, and the thick darkness, with a loud voice; and he added no more. And he wrote them upon two tables of stone, and gave them to me.

(Exo 20:18–21 )

Deu 5:23

Deu 5:23And when you heard the voice out of the midst of the darkness, while the mountain was burning with fire, you came near to me, all the heads of your tribes, and your elders;

Deu 5:24

Deu 5:24and you said, 'Behold, the LORD our God has shown us his glory and greatness, and we have heard his voice out of the midst of the fire; we have this day seen God speak with man and man still live.

Deu 5:25

Deu 5:25Now therefore why should we die? For this great fire will consume us; if we hear the voice of the LORD our God any more, we shall die.

Deu 5:26

Deu 5:26For who is there of all flesh, that has heard the voice of the living God speaking out of the midst of fire, as we have, and has still lived?

Deu 5:27

Deu 5:27Go near, and hear all that the LORD our God will say; and speak to us all that the LORD our God will speak to you; and we will hear and do it.'

Deu 5:28

Deu 5:28"And the LORD heard your words, when you spoke to me; and the LORD said to me, 'I have heard the words of this people, which they have spoken to you; they have rightly said all that they have spoken.

Deu 5:29

Deu 5:29Oh that they had such a mind as this always, to fear me and to keep all my commandments, that it might go well with them and with their children for ever!

Deu 5:30

Deu 5:30Go and say to them, "Return to your tents."

Deu 5:31

Deu 5:31But you, stand here by me, and I will tell you all the commandment and the statutes and the ordinances which you shall teach them, that they may do them in the land which I give them to possess.'

Deu 5:32

Deu 5:32You shall be careful to do therefore as the LORD your God has commanded you; you shall not turn aside to the right hand or to the left.

Deu 5:33

Deu 5:33You shall walk in all the way which the LORD your God has commanded you, that you may live, and that it may go well with you, and that you may live long in the land which you shall possess.
