And behold, Aaron and Hur are with you; whoever has a legal matter, have him approach them.” 15Then Moses went up to the mountain, and the cloud covered the 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
