Nehemiah 9:13

Thou camest down also upon Mount Sinai ,.... By some visible tokens of his presence, as a cloud, fire, smoke, &c.; which must be understood consistent with his omniscience, see Exodus 19:18 ,

and spakest with them from heaven ; the decalogue or ten commandments, Exodus 20:1 ,

and gavest them right judgments and true laws, good statutes and commandments ; both judicial and ceremonial, which were of excellent use to them in their civil and ecclesiastical polity; these were not spoken to Israel, but given to Moses on the mount, to be delivered to them.
