All the People Saw the Thunder and Stood Whole at Sinai

"And all the people saw" (Exodus 20:15) teaches that there were no blind among them. From the verse "you have been shown, that you might know" (Deuteronomy 4:35) it teaches that there were no fools among them. From the verse "and all the people answered together" (Exodus 19:8) it teaches that there were no mute among them. From the verse "out of heaven He made you hear His voice" (Deuteronomy 4:36) it teaches that there were no deaf among them. From the verse "you are standing" (Deuteronomy 29:9) it teaches that there were no lame among them. And from where that not one of them had a headache or a toothache? Scripture teaches, "and there was none stumbling among His tribes" (Psalms 105:37). "The thunderings" (Exodus 20:15). As is the way of the world, it is impossible to see sound; but here they saw the sounds and the torches. Just as they saw the torches, so they saw the sounds. "And the people saw" (Exodus 20:15): what did they see? They saw a great glory. Rabbi Eliezer says: From where that a maidservant at the Sea of Israel saw what even the greatest of the prophets did not see? As it is said, "and the people saw"; what did they see? They saw a great glory. "And they trembled" (Exodus 20:15). The word "trembling" means only reeling, and so it says, "the earth shall reel to and fro like a drunkard" (Isaiah 24:19), and it says, "and his heart trembled, and the heart of his people, as the trees of the forest tremble before the wind" (Isaiah 7:2). "And they stood at a distance" (Exodus 20:15). Why do I need this? Has it not already been said, "and the people stood at a distance" (Exodus 20:18)? It teaches that they would go back twelve mil and return twelve mil for each and every word.
