Exodus 24:12 KJV

Expositor's Dictionary of Texts - Exodus 24:1-18

Exodus 24:2 All deep feelings of a chronic class agree in this, that they seek for solitude, and are fed by solitude. Deep grief, deep love, how naturally do these ally themselves with religious feeling! and all three, love, grief, religion, are haunters of solitary places. De Quincey. Exodus 24:3 Under baleful Atheisms, Mammonisms, Joe-Manton Dilettantisms, with their appropriate Cants and Idolisms, and whatsoever scandalous rubbish obscures and all but extinguishes the soul of man religion... read more

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Exodus 24:1-18

CHAPTER XXIV.THE COVENANT RATIFIED. THE VISION OF GOD.Exodus 24:1-18The opening words of this chapter ("Come up unto the Lord") imply, without explicitly asserting, that Moses was first sent down to convey to Israel the laws which had just been enacted.This code they unanimously accepted, and he wrote it down. It is a memorable statement, recording the origin of the first portion of Holy Scripture that ever existed as such, whatever earlier writings may now or afterwards have been incorporated... read more

CHAPTER 24 The Ratification of the Covenant and the Glory of Jehovah 1. Moses called into Jehovah’s presence (Exodus 24:1-2 ) 2. The covenant ratified and the sprinkling with blood (Exodus 24:3-8 ) 3. in the presence of God and Jehovah’s glory (Exodus 24:9-18 ) This chapter is a fitting conclusion of this second section of the second part. It begins with the giving of the law and ends with the glory of the Lord. Moses alone was to come near to Jehovah; Aaron, Nadab and Abihu with the... read more

24:12 And the LORD {h} said unto Moses, Come up to me into the mount, and be there: and I will give thee {i} tables of stone, and a law, and commandments which I have written; that thou mayest teach {k} them.(h) The second time.(i) Signifying the hardness of our hearts, unless God writes his laws in it by his Spirit, Jeremiah 31:33, Ezekiel 11:19, 2 Corinthians 3:3, Hebrews 8:10; Hebrews 10:16(k) That is, the people. read more

L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - Exodus 24:1-18

THE COVENANT WRITTEN AND READ TO THE PEOPLE (vs.1-8) Having finished declaring the rules and regulations connected with the law, the Lord tells Moses to come up to Him in the mountain, and to take with him Aaron, Nadab and Abihu (Aaron's sons) as well as seventy of the elders of Israel (v.1). A group therefore was selected to have a place above the people, which is consistent with the character of law, but having no place whatever in the church of God today, for all believers are seen as... read more

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Exodus 24:1-18

THE CIVIL CODE The ten commandments constitute the moral law, a perfect rule of duty for all men and everywhere. But the “judgments” (Exodus 21:1 ) that follow are an application of those commandments to Israel in the peculiar circumstances of their history at that time and when they should inhabit Canaan. The ten commandments, let us say, represent the constitution of the United States, and the judgments the legislative enactments based thereon by Congress. The three chapters now entered... read more

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Exodus 24:1-18

Moses In the Mount Exodus 24:0 This account would seem to be supernatural and miraculous. What is supernatural? What is miraculous? We are fond of using these great words, but it is one thing to employ them and another rightly to measure and apply their meaning. What is miraculous to one man is commonplace to another. We should not be astounded by the miracles if we had correlative faith. The surprise of the disciples at the miracles did not throw any doubt upon the miracles themselves, but... read more

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Exodus 24:12-18

12-18 A cloud covered the mount six days; a token of God's special presence there. Moses was sure that he who called him up would protect him. Even those glorious attributes of God which are most terrible to the wicked, the saints with humble reverence rejoice in. And through faith in the atoning Sacrifice, we hope for greater honour than Moses ever enjoyed on earth. Now we see through a glass darkly, but when he shall appear, then face to face. This vision of God will continue with equal, if... read more

The Elders Appear Before God; Moses Remains v. 9. Then went up Moses and Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel, representing the prophetic, the priestly, and the political element of the children of Israel, according to God command, v. 1; v. 10. and they saw the God of Israel, who revealed Himself to them in some form which gave them an idea of His divine essence; and there was under His feet as it were a paved work of a sapphire stone, a brilliant formation of sapphire... read more
