2 Esdras 3:19

Listen to 2 Esdras 3:19
19 The dazzling light of your presence passed through the four gates of fire, earthquake, wind, and frost, in order to give the Law and its commandments to Jacob's descendants, the people of Israel.

2 Esdras 3:19 In-Context

17 "You rescued the descendants of Jacob from Egypt and led them to Mount Sinai.
18 There you bent down the skies, shook the earth, moved the world, made the waters beneath the earth tremble, and brought disorder to the universe.
19 The dazzling light of your presence passed through the four gates of fire, earthquake, wind, and frost, in order to give the Law and its commandments to Jacob's descendants, the people of Israel.
20 Yet you did not remove their evil impulse, but let your Law guide their lives.
21 The first man, Adam, weighed down with an evil impulse, sinned and was defeated, and the same was true of all of his descendants.
