Deuteronomy 5:22

John Gill's Exposition of the Entire Bible · John Gill (1697–1771) · Public Domain

These words the Lord spake unto all your assembly in the mount,.... The above ten words or commands, which were spoken so audibly and loudly by the Lord himself on Mount Sinai, that the whole congregation of the people of Israel heard them:out of the midst of the fire, of the cloud, and of the thick darkness; in which the Lord was; see De 4:11,with a great voice, and he added no more; ceased speaking; after he had delivered the ten commands, he said no more at that time.

The Targum of Jonathan is,"with a great voice which ceased not.'
