“Out of heaven he made thee to hear his voice, that he might instruct thee: and upon earth he shewed thee his great fire; and thou heardest his words out of the midst of the fire.”
Out of heaven he made you to hear his voice, that he might instruct you; and upon earth he showed you his great fire; and you heard his words out of the midst of the fire -- the twofold instruction: voice from heaven and fire on earth. The theophany combines auditory and visual elements (despite the 'no form seen' of verse 12). Israel is instructed through multiple sensory channels.
