 But the Gemara continued that reading "And they stood at the foot of the mountain," Rav Dimi bar Hama taught that in offering the Torah to Israel, God suspended the mountain over Israel and told them that if they accepted the Torah, all would be well, but if not, that place would be their grave.The students of Rav Shila's academy deduced from the words "from His right hand, a fiery law for them" in that Moses received the Torah from God's hand.Rabbi Simeon ben Lakish (Resh Lakish) taught that the Torah that God gave Moses was of white fire and its writing of black fire.
