1Moreover, the Hebrews, when the Lord came down upon Mount Sinai, to give the law, were so dismayed with fear and trembling, that they said to Moses: We pray thee deal thou with God, least if he continue talking so with us, we die every one. And with these places, that also maketh much, that is written in the same book of Exodus, 2even when the covenant was made between God and his people; and Moses had recited the same, and sprinkled the people with the blood of the sacrifices, and had brought the elders unto the mount, where they saw God sitting upon a throne in great majesty and glory. But after that vision is recited, it is added: And yet did not God stretch out his hand unto them. Which declareth, that it was a rare sight, and a strange, that men should see God without all peril and danger of life. Wherefore every part of that is recorded, as done by special prerogative.
