“And ye said, Behold, the Lord our God hath shewed us his glory and his greatness, and we have heard his voice out of the midst of the fire: we have seen this day that God doth talk with man, and he liveth.”
And you said, 'Behold, the LORD our God has shewed us his glory and his greatness, and we have heard his voice out of the midst of the fire; we have seen this day that God does speak with man, and man remains alive' -- the people's declaration: they have encountered God and survived. 'Glory and greatness' (kabod and gadluth) describe God's visible majesty. The survival is remarkable; theophany typically kills.
