exodus-24:7-11

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

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Exodus 24:9-11

The people having, besides their submission to the ceremony of the sprinkling of blood, declared their well-pleasedness in their God and his law, again and again, God here gives to their representatives some special tokens of his favour to them (for God meets him that rejoices and works righteousness), and admits them nearer to him than they could have expected. Thus, in the New-Testament church, we find the four living creatures, and the four and twenty elders, honoured with places round the... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Exodus 24:7

And he took the book of the covenant ,.... Which contained the words of the Lord he is said to write, Exodus 24:4 , and consisted both of laws and judgments required of the people, and to which they had given their assent, and promised obedience to; and of promises made by the Lord of sending his angel before them to guide them in the way, and bring them to Canaan, and to drive the Canaanites from thence, and put the Israelites into the possession of it; so that here were promises on both... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Exodus 24:8

And Moses took the blood ,.... The other half of the blood which was in the basins: and sprinkled it on the people ; not on the whole body of the people, who could not be brought nigh enough, and were too numerous to be all sprinkled with it; though the apostle so expresses it, a part being put for the whole, Hebrews 9:19 either this was sprinkled on the young men that offered the sacrifices in the name of all the people; or on the seventy elders, as the heads of them, so Aben Ezra; or... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Exodus 24:9

Then went up Moses and Aaron, Nadab and Abihu ,.... After the above things were done, the words of the Lord were told the people, and the book of the covenant read unto them, to which they agreed, sacrifices were offered, and the blood of them sprinkled on the altar, and on the people. The Samaritan version adds to these, Eleazar and Ithamar, the two younger sons of Aaron: and seventy of the elders of Israel , who were called up to the mountain to the Lord, Exodus 24:1 . read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Exodus 24:10

And they saw the God of Israel ,.... The Targum of Jonathan restrains this to Nadab and Abihu whereas it is doubtless true of Moses and Aaron, and the seventy elders, who all saw him, and who were witnesses to the people that it was a divine Person that spoke to Moses, and delivered the laws unto him, to be observed by them; which seems to be the reason of their being called up, and favoured with this sight which must not be understood as of anything criminal in them, as if they curiously... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Exodus 24:11

And upon the nobles of the children of Israel he laid not his hand ,.... Which some interpret of his hand of prophecy, and of the measure of the Spirit, such an one as Moses had, and by virtue of which he lived forty days and nights without eating and drinking; but these not having such a measure of the Spirit, were obliged to eat and drink to support nature, as in the next clause: but it is rather to be understood of the hand of God; he did not inflict any disease or death upon them on... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Exodus 24:7

The book of the covenant - The writing containing the laws mentioned in the three preceding chapters. As this writing contained the agreement made between God and them, it was called the book of the covenant; but as no covenant was considered to be ratified and binding till a sacrifice had been offered on the occasion, hence the necessity of the sacrifices mentioned here. Half of the blood being sprinkled on the Altar, and half of it sprinkled on the People, showed that both God and They... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Exodus 24:10

They saw the God of Israel - The seventy elders, who were representatives of the whole congregation, were chosen to witness the manifestation of God, that they might be satisfied of the truth of the revelation which he had made of himself and of his will; and on this occasion it was necessary that the people also should be favored with a sight of the glory of God; see Exodus 20:18 . Thus the certainty of the revelation was established by many witnesses, and by those especially of the most... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Exodus 24:11

Upon the nobles of - Israel he laid not his hand - This laying on of the hand has been variously explained. He did not conceal himself from the nobles of Israel by covering them with his hand, as he did Moses, Exodus 33:22 . He did not endue any of the nobles, i.e., the seventy elders, with the gift of prophecy; for so laying on of the hand has been understood. He did not slay any of them; none of them received any injury; which is certainly one meaning of the phrase: see Nehemiah... read more
