Context of Exodus 24:13
11But God did not raise his hand against these leaders of the Israelites; they saw God, and they ate and drank. 12The Lord said to Moses, “Come up to me on the mountain and stay here, and I will give you the tablets of stone with the law and commandments I have written for their instruction.” Then Moses set out with Joshua his aide, and Moses went up on the mountain of God. 14He said to the elders, “Wait here for us until we come back to you. Aaron and Hur are with you, and anyone involved in a dispute can go to them.” 15When Moses went up on the mountain, the cloud covered it,

Commentaries on Exodus 24:13
- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 13Moses rose up - In Exodus 24:16; it is said that the glory of the Lord abode on the mount, and the cloud covered it. The glory was probably above the cloud, and it was to the cloud that Moses and his servant Joshua ascended at this time, leaving Aaron and the elders below. After they had been in this region, viz., where the cloud encompassed the mountain, for six days, God appears to have called Moses up higher: compare verses Exodus 24:16; and Exodus…Read the comment
- Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 12-18Verses 12-18 A cloud covered the mount six days; a token of God's special presence there. Moses was sure that he who called him up would protect him. Even those glorious attributes of God which are most terrible to the wicked, the saints with humble reverence rejoice in. And through faith in the atoning Sacrifice, we hope for greater honour than Moses ever enjoyed on earth. Now we see through a glass darkly, but when he shall appear, then face to face…Read the comment

The covenant was then confirmed through several ceremonies: First, the covenant was written down and read aloud to the people (24:4, 7). Then blood was sprinkled as part of the ceremony (24:6). The leaders also shared a covenant meal in God’s presence (24:11). Finally, the glory of the Lord appeared on the mountain (24:15–18).Read the comment
- Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 1313. Moses went up into the mount of God--He was called to receive the divine transcript. Joshua was taken a little higher, and it would be a great comfort for the leader to have his company during the six days he was in patient waiting for the call on the seventh or sabbath day.Read the comment
