MEDITATION
Exodus 19:18-20
18 Now Mount Sinai was completely in smoke, because the LORD descended upon it in fire. Its smoke ascended like the smoke of a furnace, and the whole mountain quaked greatly.
19 And when the blast of the trumpet sounded long and became louder and louder, Moses spoke, and God answered him by voice.
20 Then the LORD came down upon Mount Sinai, on the top of the mountain. And the LORD called Moses to the top of the mountain, and Moses went up.

《出埃及记 19：18-20》
18 西奈全山冒烟，因为耶和华在火中降于山上。山的烟气上腾，如烧窑一般，遍山大大地震动。
19 角声渐渐地高而又高，摩西就说话，神有声音答应他。20 耶和华降临在西奈山顶上，耶和华召摩西上山顶，摩西就上去。
