On Erev Shavous, a wind blew from heaven called TAVACH, if they wouldn’t have accepted the Torah it would have slaughterd there skin and blood. (Talmud Shabbos, end of Perek Mepanin) (see there)
It needs analysis why there was need for this wind for the Yidden and the Torah of Hashem. In addition on Erev Shavous they never accepted it and accepted it the next day. In truth God needed to suspend the mountain above them like a barrel, if so why didn’t they slaughter the Yidden on Erev Shavous.
After the Giving of the Torah, the Satan went and asked ???? ???? ???- where is the Torah?, and Hashem pushed him aside (see there).
Hashem hid the Giving of the Torah from the Satan, who knew they were appointed to receive the Torah from the beginning of Creation, and it was impossible to know exactly when.
However the Satan desired that the Yidden have no attachment to the holiness of the Torah. Additionally they shouldn’t expel the Satan completely, as Hashem declared in the giving of the first Tablets that they would be ???? from the Angel of Death. Satan had no attachment at all to the desire for example ?? ????? ??? ???? , however he did have a attachment and yearning for the Torah itself.
On ??? ????? all the Hosts of Hashem go out from the first Gate of Impurity and don’t enter the Gate of Holiness until the second day, and only leave on the second day. On the third day they leave the 3rd Gate of Impurity, and enter the second Gate of Holiness, by the time of Erev Shavous they leave all the 50 Gates of Impurity, and enter the 49th Gate of Holiness. After the Impurity is destroyed completely they re-appear on the 50th day to enter the 50th Gate, to receive the Torah.
However the Arch Angel Samuel senses this, so he goes to be more fierce in relation to the Yidden to slaughter there skin and blood, God Forbid.
To mislead Samuel, Moshe built a altar on the 5th of Sivan, which is Erev Shavous, and the people sprinkled blood on it, and they forged a Covenant and there they preceded ‘we will do’ , before ‘we will listen’ (with regards to accepting the Torah).
Here the Holiness entered the Yidden, and they offered Peace Offerings, (says Rashi in Zevachim 113A, see there), and the Samael thinks that this is the purpose of accepting the Torah, and so Samael leaves completely, and the day afterwards they receive the Torah from Mount Sinai.
This is what it means when it says ‘if they would not accept the Torah’ that is the Covenant, and the sprinkling of blood and the preceding of ???? ?????- they would have been slaughtered.
