John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Exodus 19:14

And Moses went down from the mount unto the people ,.... The same day that he went up, the fourth day of the month: and sanctified the people ; instructed them and ordered them what they should do for their sanctification, in order to their hearing the law from the mouth of the Lord: and they washed their clothes ; as the Lord had directed Moses to enjoin them, and as he had commanded them; see Gill on Exodus 19:10 . read more

And he said unto the people, be ready against the third day ,.... The third day from thence, the sixth of the month Sivan, against which day they were to prepare themselves, by washing their garments, and all other outward acts of sanctification and purity they were directed to, that they might be ready for the service of that day, to hear and receive the law from God himself: Aben Ezra has this note on the passage,"perhaps not a man slept that night, that he might hear the voice of the Lord... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Exodus 19:16

And it came to pass on the third day in the morning, The sixth of the month, according to the Targum of Jonathan, and so Jarchi; on which day, as the Jews generally say F20 T. Bab. Sabbat, fol. 86. 2. & Yoma, fol. 4. 2. Seder Olam Rabba, c. 5. p. 18. , the law was given, and which, they also observe, was a sabbath day: yea, they are sometimes so very particular as to fix the hour of the day, and say F21 Pirke Eliezer, c. 46. , it was the sixth hour of the day, or twelve... read more

And Moses brought forth the people out of the camp ,.... Which was before the mountain and near it, when the above tokens were given of the divine Presence on it; as they were thrown into a panic upon the sound of the trumpet, it was, perhaps, with some difficulty that they were brought out of the camp, or persuaded to quit it; and nothing short of the presence of Moses at the head of them, to go before them, and lead them to the foot of the mountain, could have prevailed upon them to have... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Exodus 19:18

And Mount Sinai was altogether on a smoke ,.... Not from nature, as volcanos, but for a reason after given; it seemed to be one large body of smoke, nothing else to be seen but smoke; an emblem of the darkness of the legal dispensation, which was full of obscure types and figures, of dark shadows and smoky sacrifices, to which the clear day, of the Gospel dispensation is opposed, see 2 Corinthians 3:12 . because the Lord descended upon it in fire ; in flaming fire, as the Targums,... read more

And when the voice of the trumpet sounded long ,.... Not in one continued tone, as before, Exodus 19:13 , where a different word is used, and when it decreased, and was about to cease, which was to summon the people to attend; but now they were come to the foot of the mount, and this sounding was a preparation to the giving of the law unto them, and was not one continued even tone: but waxed louder and louder; or, "going, and exceeding strong"; or, "strengthening itself exceedingly" F24 ... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Exodus 19:20

And the Lord came down on Mount Sinai ,.... In the above visible tokens of his presence and power; otherwise he is the incomprehensible Jehovah, that immense and omnipotent Being, who fills heaven and earth, and cannot be contained and circumscribed in either: on the top of the mount ; where the fire he descended in rested, and where the smoke and thick cloud were, as a token of his presence: and the Lord called Moses up to the top of the mount ; who either was at the bottom of it... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Exodus 19:21

And the Lord said unto Moses, go down ,.... As soon as he was got to the top of the mount he was bid to go down again to the bottom, with a message to the people: charge the people, lest they break through unto the Lord to gaze ; to see if they could observe any similitude or likeness of God, that they might have an idea of it in their minds, or make an image like unto it; to prevent which, the Lord, knowing the vanity and curiosity of their minds, ordered Moses to give them a strict... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Exodus 19:22

And let the priests also, which come near unto the Lord ,.... Either the firstborn, as the Jews generally interpret it, so Jarchi and Aben Ezra; who were sanctified to the Lord, and in whose stead afterwards the Levites were taken; or the sons of Aaron, who should be, and were potentially, though not actually priests, as Ben Gersom expresses it, from an ancient book of theirs called Mechilta; or rather some principal persons, as heads of families and the like, who, before the priesthood was... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Exodus 19:23

And Moses said unto the Lord ,.... Upon his giving such strict orders both with respect to the people and the priests: the people cannot come up to Mount Sinai ; suggesting as if there was no need for him to go down on that account, to give them a charge not to break through and gaze; since, as he thought, there was no probability that they ever would attempt it, seeing such a solemn charge had been given, nor any possibility of it, since such a fence was made: for thou chargedst us,... read more
