Exodus 24:17 - Exposition

Meanwhile, to those below in the plain, "the glory of the Lord" on the summit above them, was like devouring fire on the top of the mount . They had but to lift their eyes thither, and they saw his wonderful glory—showing like a huge fire—on the spot from which he had spoken to them ( Exodus 20:18 ). This manifestation continued certainly for the first six days; whether it lasted longer or not is open to question.
