The same laws, in the same letters: the ten commandments which the Lord spake unto you in the mount; in Mount Sinai, on which he descended, and from whence he delivered the decalogue by word of mouth in an audible manner, that all the people could hear it: out of the midst of the fire; in which he descended, and where he continued, and from whence he spake, so that it was indeed a fiery law: in the day of the assembly; when all the people of Israel were assembled together at the bottom of the mount to hear it: and the Lord gave them unto me; the two tables, when he had wrote upon them the ten commands.
