וַתֹּאמְר֗וּ הֵ֣ן הֶרְאָ֜נוּ יְהוָ֤ה אֱלֹהֵ֙ינוּ֙ אֶת־כְּבֹד֣וֹ וְאֶת־גָּדְל֔וֹ וְאֶת־קֹל֥וֹ שָׁמַ֖עְנוּ מִתּ֣וֹךְ הָאֵ֑שׁ הַיּ֤וֹם הַזֶּה֙ רָאִ֔ינוּ כִּֽי־יְדַבֵּ֧ר אֱלֹהִ֛ים אֶת־הָֽאָדָ֖ם וָחָֽי׃
en disant: "Certes, l’Éternel, notre Dieu, nous a révélé sa gloire et sa grandeur, et nous avons entendu sa voix du milieu de la flamme; nous avons vu aujourd’hui Dieu parler à l’homme et celui-ci vivre!
Noam Elimelekh
"This day we have seen that God speaks with a human being — and they live." (Deuteronomy 5:21) And after this it is written: "If we continue to hear… any more, we shall die."(Deuteronomy 5:22) Behold, the two verses apparently contradict and refute one another: they themselves said "that God speaks with a human being and they live," and then said, "if we continue… we shall die."
