'Approached' in the Bible

“Then all of you approached me and said, ‘Let’s send men ahead of us, so that they may explore the land for us and bring us back a report about the route we should go up and the cities we will come to.’

"When you approached and stood at the foot of the mountain a mountain that was blazing with fire at its core while the sky was covered with thick, dark clouds

All of you approached me with your tribal leaders and elders when you heard the voice from the darkness and while the mountain was blazing with fire.
