Concerning the Prophecy about Christ that God hath spoken to Moses only ? How is it that we also do not hear the Word of God that we may "l And God, Who knoweth the hearts believe on Him ? of men, heard the murmuring of the children of Israel, " Thou dost ask forgiveness and He said unto Moses, for thy people, and yet they murmur against thee, saying, Why doth not God speak with us ? And now, they believe in Me, let them come hither to Me with if And tell them to purify themselves, and to wash men of Israel go up thee. their apparel, and let the great to hear what commands I will give them, and let them hear voice and perform the commandments which I shall give them." And Moses told the children of Israel what he had been commanded, and the people bowed low before God, and they purified themselves on the third day. And the seventy elders of Israel 8 went up into Mount Sinai, and they departed from the encampment and ascended Mount Sinai. And they were distant from each other the space of the flight of an arrow, and they stood still, each facing his neighbour. Now, though there were many of them and they used their endeavours, they were not able to ascend into the cloud with Moses, and fear and trembling seized upon them, and the shadow of death enveloped them and they heard the sound of the horn and and [they felt] the darkness and the winds. And pipes, Moses went into the cloud and held converse with God, and all the great men of Israel heard that Voice of My ; God, and they were afraid and quaked with terror, and because of the overwhelming terror which was in their hearts they were unable to stand up. And when Moses came forth they said unto him, " We will not hear this word of God so that we may not die of terror. And behold, we know that God holdeth converse with thee. And if there be anything that He would say unto us, do thou hearken thereto and declare it unto us. 1 Numbers xii, 2. Be Numbers xi, 16-24; Exodus rix. 171
