“These words the Lord spake unto all your assembly in the mount out of the midst of the fire, of the cloud, and of the thick darkness, with a great voice: and he added no more. And he wrote them in two tables of stone, and delivered them unto me.”
These words the LORD spake unto all your assembly in the mount out of the midst of the fire, of the cloud, and of the thick darkness, with a great voice; and he added no more. And he wrote them upon two tables of stone, and delivered them unto me -- the theophany's sensory intensity (fire, cloud, darkness, great voice) surrounds the utterance of the Decalogue. The voice ceased ('added no more'); the revelation was complete. The divine writing on stone tables confirms the weight of the words.
