hebrews 12:19 And the sound of a trumpet, and the voice of words; which voice they that heard intreated that the word should not be spoken to them any more:

hebrews 12:19 and to the blast of a trumpet and the sound of words which [sound was such that] those who heard begged that no further word should be spoken to them.

19. trumpet--to rouse attention, and herald God's approach (Ex 19:16).
entreated that the word should not be spoken--literally, "that speech should not be added to them"; not that they refused to hear the word of God, but they wished that God should not Himself speak, but employ Moses as His mediating spokesman. "The voice of words" was the Decalogue, spoken by God Himself, a voice issuing forth, without any form being seen: after which "He added no more" (De 5:22).

hebrews 12:19 and to the blast of a trumpet and the sound of words which [sound was such that] those who heard begged that no further word should be spoken to them.
