Exodus 20:22

The Pulpit Commentary · Joseph S. Exell and contributors · Public Domain

Ye have seen that I have talked with you from heaven. The book opened with this reminder, which at once recalled its author and declared its authority. "I, who give these laws, am the same who spake the ten commandments amid the thunders of Sinai.

Reverence the laws accordingly."
