Context of Exodus 24:14

12Then Adonai said to Moses, “Come up to Me on the mountain and stay there, and I will give you the tablets of stone with the Torah and the mitzvot, which I have written so that you may instruct them.” 13So Moses rose up along with his attendant Joshua, and Moses went up onto the mountain of God. To the elders he said, “Wait for us here until we come back to you. See, Aaron and Hur are with you—whoever has a dispute should go to them.” 15When Moses went up on the mountain, the cloud covered it. 16The glory of Adonai settled upon Mount Sinai, and the cloud covered it for six days. Then on the seventh day He called to Moses out of the midst of the cloud.

Commentaries on Exodus 24:14

• Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 14Tarry ye here for us - Probably Moses did not know that he was to continue so long on the mount, nor is it likely that the elders tarried the whole forty days where they were: they doubtless, after waiting some considerable time, returned to the camp; and their return is supposed to have been the grand cause why the Israelites made the golden calf, as they probably reported that Moses was lost. Aaron and Hur are with you - Not knowing how long he might be…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
• Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 1-18Israel agreed to the terms of the covenant (24:3). 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. 1414. he said unto the elders, Tarry ye here for us--There is a circular valley or hollow a good way up on the brow of Jebel Musa, which was their halting place, while he alone was privileged to ascend the highest peak. The people stood below, as in the "outer court," the elders in the "holy place," Moses, as a type of Christ, in "the holy of holies."Read the comment
