If you have any arguments, they can decide who is right.’ 15When Moses went up the mountain, the cloud covered it. The Lord's bright glory appeared on Sinai mountain.

Commentaries on Exodus 24:16

• Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 16And the seventh day he called - It is very likely that Moses went up into the mount on the first day of the week; and having with Joshua remained in the region of the cloud during six days, on the seventh, which was the Sabbath, God spake to him, and delivered successively to him, during forty days and forty nights, the different statutes and ordinances which are afterwards mentioned.Read the comment
