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

Joseph Parker

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

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 Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Exodus 24:9-18

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

Lange's Commentary on the Holy Scriptures: Critical, Doctrinal and Homiletical - Exodus 24:1-18

d.—The feast of the covenant commandedExodus 24:1-21And he said unto Moses, Come up unto Jehovah, thou, and Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel; and worship ye afar off. 2And Moses alone shall [let Moses alone] come near Jehovah: but they shall not [let them not] come nigh; neither shall [and let not] the people go up with him.EXEGETICAL AND CRITICALThe connection of this passage with the foregoing is correctly stated by Keil in opposition to Knobel. In Exodus 20:22 God... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Exodus 24:12-18

Moses Shown God’s Plan for the Tabernacle Exodus 24:12-18 ; Exodus 25:1-9 There were four concentric circles, so to speak, represented as gathered around the burning center of the Divine Presence. In the outer circle, the people, Exodus 24:2 ; Exodus 24:17 ; next, the seventy elders, Exodus 24:9 ; Exodus 24:14 ; then, Joshua, Exodus 24:13 ; Exodus 32:17 , and lastly, Moses, Exodus 24:18 . These represent respectively, the unenlightened; those whose religious life is hindered by their... read more
