Commentary for Avodah Zarah 4:15
דכתיב (שמות יט, יז) ויתיצבו בתחתית ההר ואמר רב דימי בר חמא מלמד שכפה הקב"ה הר כגיגית על ישראל ואמר להם אם אתם מקבלין את התורה מוטב ואם לאו שם תהא קבורתכם
As it is written: “And they stood at the foot (or under) the mountain” (Exodus 19:17), R. Dimi b. Hama said: This teaches us that the Holy Blessed One suspended the mountain over Israel like a tub, and said to them: “If you accept the Torah, it will be well with you, but if not, there you will find your grave.”
Daf Shevui to Avodah Zarah
At first all of the nations come in front of God all mixed in together. But then they separate such that each comes one at a time. As we shall see, each kingdom will come in front of God, one at a time.
