וַתֹּאמְר֗וּ הֵ֣ן הֶרְאָ֜נוּ יְהוָ֤ה אֱלֹהֵ֙ינוּ֙ אֶת־כְּבֹד֣וֹ וְאֶת־גָּדְל֔וֹ וְאֶת־קֹל֥וֹ שָׁמַ֖עְנוּ מִתּ֣וֹךְ הָאֵ֑שׁ הַיּ֤וֹם הַזֶּה֙ רָאִ֔ינוּ כִּֽי־יְדַבֵּ֧ר אֱלֹהִ֛ים אֶת־הָֽאָדָ֖ם וָחָֽי׃
at sinabi ninyo: “Narito, ipinakita sa amin ng Walang-Hanggan na aming Diyos ang Kanyang kaluwalhatian at ang Kanyang kadakilaan, at narinig namin ang Kanyang tinig mula sa gitna ng apoy; nakita namin ngayong araw na ito na maaaring makipag-usap ang Diyos sa tao at mabuhay pa rin ang tao.

"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."
