Then spake Solomon, The LORD said that he would dwell in the thick darkness.

He bowed the heavens also, and came down: and darkness was under his feet.

Clouds and darkness are round about him: righteousness and judgment are the habitation of his throne.

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.

At the brightness that was before him his thick clouds passed, hail stones and coals of fire.

(I stood between the LORD and you at that time, to shew you the word of the LORD: for ye were afraid by reason of the fire, and went not up into the mount;) saying,

Who coverest thyself with light as with a garment: who stretchest out the heavens like a curtain:

Then said Solomon, The LORD hath said that he would dwell in the thick darkness.

Who only hath immortality, dwelling in the light which no man can approach unto; whom no man hath seen, nor can see: to whom be honour and power everlasting. Amen.

And it came to pass on the third day in the morning, that there were thunders and lightnings, and a thick cloud upon the mount, and the voice of the trumpet exceeding loud; so that all the people that was in the camp trembled. And Moses brought forth the people out of the camp to meet with God; and they stood at the nether part of the mount.
