exodus-24:1-4

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Exodus 24:1-8

The first two verses record the appointment of a second session upon mount Sinai, for the making of laws, when an end was put to the first. When a communion is begun between God and us, it shall never fail on his side, if it do not first fail on ours. Moses is directed to bring Aaron and his sons, and the seventy elders of Israel, that they might be witnesses of the glory of God, and that communion with him to which Moses was admitted; and that their testimony might confirm the people's faith.... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Exodus 24:1

And he said unto Moses ,.... Who said? no doubt a divine Person, and yet what this Person said is: come up unto the Lord ; meaning either to himself, or one divine Person called to Moses to come up to another: according to the Targum of Jonathan, it was Michael, the prince of wisdom; not a created angel, but the eternal Word, Wisdom, and Son of God; who said this on the seventh day of the month, which was the day after the giving of the law, or ten commands; though Jarchi says this... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Exodus 24:2

And Moses alone shall come near the Lord ,.... Into the cloud where he was, and talk with him face to face, as a man talketh with his friend; which was great nearness indeed, and a peculiar favour and high honour was this: but they shall not come nigh ; Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and the seventy elders of Israel: neither shall the people go up with him ; not any of them, much less the whole body. It seems, by this account, that Moses had been down from the mount after he had received... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Exodus 24:3

And Moses came and told the people all the words of the Lord, and all the judgments ,.... Which according to Jarchi were the seven commands given to the sons of Noah, the laws concerning the sabbath, and honouring parents, the red heifer, and the judgments at Marah; but all these they were acquainted with before, excepting that of the red heifer, and the law, for that was not yet delivered to Moses, nor were these the ten commands, for they had heard them from the Lord themselves; but they... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Exodus 24:4

And Moses wrote all the words of the Lord ,.... Jarchi says, all from the creation, to the giving of the law, and the commands at Marah; but though these were written by him, yet not at this time; but as Aben Ezra more truly observes, what are mentioned in this "parashah", or section, or what is contained in the two preceding chapters, he not only related to them from his memory, but he wrote them in a book, which is after mentioned, that they might be seen and read hereafter; for these were... read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Exodus 24:1

Come up unto the Lord - Moses and Aaron were already on the mount, or at least some way up, ( Exodus 19:24 ;), where they had heard the voice of the Lord distinctly speaking to them: and the people also saw and heard, but in a less distinct manner, probably like the hoarse grumbling sound of distant thunder; see Exodus 20:18 . Calmet, who complains of the apparent want of order in the facts laid down here, thinks the whole should be understood thus: - "After God had laid before Moses and... read more

Moses alone shall come near - The people stood at the foot of the mountain. Aaron and his two sons and the seventy elders went up, probably about half way, and Moses alone went to the summit. read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Exodus 24:4

Moses wrote all the words of the Lord - After the people had promised obedience, ( Exodus 24:3 ;), and so entered into the bonds of the covenant, "it was necessary," says Calmet, "to draw up an act by which the memory of these transactions might be preserved, and confirm the covenant by authentic and solemn ceremonies." And this Moses does. As legislator, he reduces to writing all the articles and conditions of the agreement, with the people's act of consent. As their mediator and the... read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Exodus 24:1

Verse 1 1.Come up unto the Lord, thou, and Aaron, Nadab and Abihu. Before Moses erected the tabernacle and consecrated it by a solemn ceremony, it was necessary for him to fetch the Tables of the Covenant, which were a pledge of God’s favor; otherwise, if the ark had nothing in it, the sanctuary would have been in a manner empty. For this reason, he is commanded to go up into the mount, but not without a splendid train of companions, in order that an appropriate preparation might arouse their... read more
