Coke's Commentary on the Holy Bible

Exodus 19:19

Moses spake, and God answered him— In Exodus 19:9 the Lord tells Moses, that he would come in a thick cloud, that the people might hear him speak with him: accordingly, being descended in all his terrors, he replied to Moses, speaking to him with a voice, i.e. a human voice, with which he condescended to converse with Moses, that the people might hear the Lord speaking. What Moses spake upon this occasion; we are not informed in the Old Testament; but the author of the Epistle to the Hebrews, ch. Exodus 12:21 tells us, that, upon this terrible sight, Moses said I exceedingly fear and quake; which are very likely to have been the words he now spoke: to which God answered by a voice, soft and gentle like the human; and calculated to dispel those fears which the alarming sound of the trumpet, the thunders and the lightnings had occasioned.
