“The earth shook, the heavens also dropped at the presence of God: even Sinai itself was moved at the presence of God, the God of Israel.”
The continuation emphasizing the terror and trembling that comes before God articulates the awesome power of the divine presence. The reference to Sinai suggests the tradition of theophany at Mount Sinai where God's presence is manifest with power. This verse deepens the sense of divine majesty and power.
