Exodus 19:17-19

The Voice

¹⁷ Moses led the anxious people away from camp to encounter God. Everyone waited at the base of the mountain. ¹⁸ Now Mount Sinai was covered in thick smoke because the Eternal descended on the mountain in fire; and the smoke of that fire rose up to the sky as if it were billowing out of a furnace, and the entire mountain shuddered and quaked intensely. ¹⁹ The blast of the ram’s horn grew louder and louder. Moses spoke, and God answered with a voice that rumbled like thunder.
