In the ancient Near Eastern context, trumpets were often used to signal important events or divine appearances. The trumpet blast at Sinai signified the presence of God and the seriousness of the covenant being established. This imagery is used to evoke the awe and fear associated with God's holiness and the giving of the Law.or to a voice that made its hearers beg The voice mentioned is the voice of God, which was so overwhelming and terrifying that the Israelites pleaded with Moses to speak to them instead, as recorded in <a href="/exodus/20-18.htm">Exodus 20:18-19</a>. This reflects the human response to the direct and powerful revelation of God, highlighting the fear and reverence due to His majesty. It underscores the idea that God's holiness is beyond human comprehension and can be overwhelming to sinful humanity.that no further word be spoken The Israelites' request that no further word be spoken to them directly by God emphasizes their recognition of their own unworthiness and the fear of divine judgment. This moment illustrates the need for a mediator between God and humanity, a role that Moses fulfilled at Sinai and that Jesus Christ fulfills in the New Covenant. It also points to the limitations of the Old Covenant, which was based on the Law and fear, in contrast to the New Covenant of grace and faith in Christ.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <a href="/topical/m/mount_sinai.htm">Mount Sinai</a> The location where God gave the Ten Commandments to Moses.

This saying of Moses was really uttered afterwards, when he was descending from the mount, and became aware of the sin of the golden calf. It was called forth by the people's sin, but was due to the alarming character of the preceding phenomena, of τὸ φανταζόμενον, that which was being revealed or manifested. Mention of it is added here to show that the general fear extended even to Moses, the mediator). This whole account, thus powerfully condensed from Exodus and Deuteronomy, presents a vivid picture of the terrors of the Mosaic revelation. God was, indeed, revealed to man, but still as unseen and unapproachable, terrible in his wrath against sin, and surrounded by sounds and sights of fear.
