21. the sight —the vision of God's majesty. quake — Greek, "I am in trembling"; "fear" affected his mind: "trembling," his body. Moses is not recorded in Exodus to have used these words. But Paul, by inspiration, supplies (compare Acts 20:35 ; 2 Timothy 3:8 ) this detail. We read in Deuteronomy 9:19 , Septuagint, of similar words used by Moses after breaking the two tables, through fear of God's anger at the people's sin in making the golden calves. He doubtless similarly "feared" in hearing the ten commandments spoken by the voice of Jehovah. return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-22" class="com-number"
