Exodus 24:12 KJV

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Exodus 24:12

Exodus 24:12. The Lord said unto Moses, Come up There were different stations on the mountain. The glory of the Lord occupied the highest place, the top of the mountain: to this place Moses is now called up, leaving the elders below to wait for him, and commissioning Aaron and Hur to transact any business in his absence. It has been thought that Moses might not expect so long a continuance in the mount with God as forty days and forty nights, when he enjoined the elders to tarry for him... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Exodus 24:1-18

The covenant sealed (24:1-18)When Moses recounted the covenant demands to them, the people once more declared their willingness to obey (cf. 19:8). In ancient times covenants were usually sealed by blood (see notes on Genesis 15:7-21), and at Sinai too God and his people were joined in a blood ritual. Half of the blood was thrown against the altar (representing God) and half was sprinkled on the people. This blood ritual, though having its usual significance in covenant ceremonies, may have had... read more

"And Jehovah said unto Moses, Come up to me into the mount, and be there: and I will give thee the tables of stone, and the law and the commandments, which I have written, that thou mayest teach them. And Moses rose up and Joshua his minister: and Moses went up into the mountain of God. And he said unto the elders, Tarry ye here for us, until we come again unto you: and, behold, Aaron and Hur are with you; whosoever hath a cause, let him come near unto them.""Unto Moses ... come up ... into the... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Exodus 24:12

Exodus 24:12. And the Lord said unto Moses, Come up— We have before observed, on ch. 19: that there were different stations on the mountain: the glory of the Lord occupied the highest place, the top of the Mount, as it is called, Exodus 24:17. And to this highest place Moses is now enjoined to ascend, leaving the elders behind to wait for him, and commissioning Aaron and Hur to transact any business during his absence. It is probable, that Moses might not expect so long a continuance in the... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Exodus 24:12

12. I will give thee tables of stone—The ten commandments, which had already been spoken, were to be given in a permanent form. Inscribed on stone, for greater durability, by the hand of God Himself, they were thus authenticated and honored above the judicial or ceremonial parts of the law. read more

C. Directions regarding God’s dwelling among His people 24:12-31:18Having given directions clarifying Israel’s obedience in the Book of the Covenant (Exodus 20:22 to Exodus 23:33), God now summoned Moses up into the mountain again to receive His directions regarding Israel’s worship. The Book of the Covenant specified how the Israelites were to live with one another, but the tabernacle showed them how God wanted them to worship Him. [Note: Cf. Davis, p. 192.] "The establishment of a covenant... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Exodus 24:12

(12) Come up to me into the mount, and be there.—After the sacrificial meal, the seventy-four persons engaged in it had descended into the plain of Er-Rahah, and possibly spent some time there, before a second summons came to Moses. This time he was directed to ascend accompanied only by his minister, Joshua (Exodus 24:13), and was warned that his stay was to be a prolonged one in the words, “And be there.”And I will give thee tables of stone . . . —It is remarkable that these are not expressly... read more

THE SECOND ASCENT OF MOSES INTO MOUNT SINAI.(12-18) The great work still remained to be done. A series of laws had been laid down for the nation and accepted with unanimity (Exodus 24:3; Exodus 24:7). But “quid prosunt leges sine moribus?” It was necessary for the sustentation of the religious life of the people that a sacred polity should be instituted, a form of worship set up, and regulations established with regard to all the externals of religion—holy persons, holy places, rites,... read more
