20 : 5 You shall not bow down to them or serve them, for I theLordyour God ama jealous God,visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children to the third and the fourth generation of those who hate me,

20 : 19 and said to Moses,You speak to us, and we will listen; but do not let God speak to us, lest we die.
20 : 20 Moses said to the people,Do not fear, for God has come totest you, that the fear of him may be before you, that you may not sin.
20 : 21 The people stood far off, while Moses drew near to thethick darkness where God was.
20 : 22 And theLordsaid to Moses,Thus you shall say to the people of Israel:You have seen for yourselves that I havetalked with you from heaven.
