Exodus 20:19
Then they said to Moses, “You speak with us, and we will hear; but let not God speak with us, lest we die.”
A few things can be said of this statement which reveals the attitude of the people towards God.
Fear - they rightly fear God because God is perfectly Holy and Awesome while they are sinners.
Worthiness - Being humans and knowing that they have done many sinful deeds, they would realize how unworthy they are.
Distance - they could have been spiritually far from God. Instead of calling on God, their lack of relationship with the everlasting Lord, means that they were more comfortable to speak and listen to God through Moses.
