2 The LORD our God made a covenant with us at Horeb.

4 The LORD spoke with you face to face out of the fire on the mountain.

5 At that time I was standing between the LORD and you to declare to you the word of the LORD, because you were afraid of the fire and would not go up the mountain. And He said:

6 “I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery.
