The Ten Commandments
(Exodus 20:1–17)
At that time I was standing between the LORD and you to declare to you the word of the LORD, because you were afraid of the fire and would not go up the mountain. And He said: Gal 3:19Exo 19:16Exo 20:18-21Heb 12:18-24Deu 5:27Exo 24:2-3Gen 18:22Heb 9:24 “I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery.

Heb 4:4Gen 2:2Exo 16:29-30Exo 23:12Neh 13:21Neh 5:5Lev 25:44-46Neh 13:15 Remember that you were a slave in the land of Egypt, and that the LORD your God brought you out of there with a mighty hand and an outstretched arm.

Moses Intercedes for the People
(Exodus 20:18–21; Hebrews 12:18–29)
The LORD spoke these commandments in a loud voice to your whole assembly out of the fire, the cloud, and the deep darkness on the mountain; He added nothing more. And He wrote them on two tablets of stone and gave them to me. Exo 24:12Exo 31:18Deu 4:12-15Deu 4:36Deu 5:4Exo 19:18-19
And when you heard the voice out of the darkness while the mountain was blazing with fire, all the heads of your tribes and your elders approached me, Exo 20:18-19Heb 12:18-21 and you said, “Behold, the LORD our God has shown us His glory and greatness, and we have heard His voice out of the fire. Today we have seen that a man can live even if God speaks with him. Deu 4:33Exo 19:19Exo 33:20Gen 32:30Deu 5:4-5Jdg 13:22 But now, why should we die? For this great fire will consume us, and we will die, if we hear the voice of the LORD our God any longer. Deu 18:162Co 3:7-9Deu 33:2Gal 3:10Gal 3:21-22Heb 12:29 For who of all flesh has heard the voice of the living God speaking out of the fire, as we have, and survived? Deu 4:33Rom 3:201Th 1:92Co 6:16Act 14:15Dan 6:26Gen 6:12Isa 40:6 Go near and listen to all that the LORD our God says. Then you can tell us everything the LORD our God tells you; we will listen and obey.” Exo 20:19Heb 12:19
And the LORD heard the words you spoke to me, and He said to me, “I have heard the words that these people have spoken to you. They have done well in all that they have spoken. Deu 18:17Num 27:7Num 36:5 If only they had such a heart to fear Me and keep all My commandments always, so that it might be well with them and with their children forever. Isa 48:18Deu 11:1Ezk 33:31-32Mat 23:37Luk 19:42Deu 4:40Deu 32:29-30Deu 5:16 Go and tell them: ‘Return to your tents.’ But you stand here with Me, that I may speak to you all the commandments and statutes and ordinances you are to teach them to follow in the land that I am giving them to possess.” Gal 3:19Deu 11:1Deu 12:1Deu 4:1Deu 4:45Deu 4:5Deu 5:1Exo 24:12
So be careful to do as the LORD your God has commanded you; you are not to turn aside to the right or to the left. Pro 4:27Jos 23:6Jos 1:7Deu 17:20Deu 28:14Deu 8:1Deu 11:32Deu 12:32 You must walk in all the ways that the LORD your God has commanded you, so that you may live and prosper and prolong your days in the land that you will possess.
