( I stood between Yhwh and you at that time, to shew you the word of Yhwh: for ye were afraid by reason of the fire, and went not up into the mount; ) saying,

And ye said, Behold, Yhwh our God hath shewed us his glory and his greatness, and we have heard his voice out of the midst of the fire: we have seen this day that God doth talk with man, and he liveth.

For who is there of all flesh, that hath heard the voice of the living God speaking out of the midst of the fire, as we have, and lived?

Go thou near, and hear all that Yhwh our God shall say: and speak thou unto us all that Yhwh our God shall speak unto thee; and we will hear it, and do it.

28 The LORD heard the voice of your words when you spoke to me; and the LORD said to me, “I have heard the voice of the words of this people which they have spoken to you. They have well said all that they have spoken.

And Yhwh heard the voice of your words, when ye spake unto me; and Yhwh said unto me, I have heard the voice of the words of this people, which they have spoken unto thee: they have well said all that they have spoken.

29 Oh that there were such a heart in them that they would fear me and keep all my commandments always, that it might be well with them and with their children forever!

But as for thee, stand thou here by me, and I will speak unto thee all the commandments, and the statutes, and the judgments, which thou shalt teach them, that they may do them in the land which I give them to possess it.

32 You shall observe to do therefore as the LORD your God has commanded you. You shall not turn away to the right hand or to the left.

Ye shall observe to do therefore as Yhwh your God hath commanded you: ye shall not turn aside to the right hand or to the left.

33 You shall walk in all the way which the LORD your God has commanded you, that you may live and that it may be well with you, and that you may prolong your days in the land which you shall possess.

Ye shall walk in all the ways which Yhwh your God hath commanded you, that ye may live, and that it may be well with you, and that ye may prolong your days in the land which ye shall possess.
