“Go thou near, and hear all that the Lord our God shall say: and speak thou unto us all that the Lord our God shall speak unto thee; and we will hear it, and do it.”
And the LORD heard the voice of your words when you spoke unto me; and the LORD said unto me, 'I have heard the voice of the words of this people, which they have spoken unto you; they have done well in all that they have spoken' -- the LORD approves the people's request for mediation. The arrangement (mediation through Moses) is divinely sanctioned. The people have spoken well (tov, rightly) in recognizing their limits.
