this_o voice_n be_v not_o of_o the_o nature_n of_o their_o bath_n kol_n upon_o these_o two_o reason_n first_o because_o this_o voice_n come_v descend_o from_o heaven_n but_o their_o bath_n kol_n can_v

believe_v the_o jewish_a author_n in_o every_o place_n where_o they_o give_v example_n of_o this_o their_o bath_n kol_n it_o will_v appear_v rather_o to_o be_v such_o a_o voice_n as_o come_v to_o

of_o such_o a_o angel_n utter_v these_o word_n unless_o it_o may_v be_v think_v that_o god_n can_v not_o utter_v they_o himself_o second_o as_o paul_n say_v to_o which_o of_o the_o angel_n say_v god_n
