Éxodo 19:17 Meaning and Commentary

Exodus 19:17

And Moses brought forth the people out of the camp
Which was before the mountain and near it, when the above tokens were given of the divine Presence on it; as they were thrown into a panic upon the sound of the trumpet, it was, perhaps, with some difficulty that they were brought out of the camp, or persuaded to quit it; and nothing short of the presence of Moses at the head of them, to go before them, and lead them to the foot of the mountain, could have prevailed upon them to have done it:

to meet with God;
who came forth in such an awful and solemn manner, as their King and lawgiver, to deliver a body of laws to them, to be the rule of their future conduct:

and they stood at the nether part of the mount;
at the bottom of it, where bounds were set, and a fence made, that they should proceed no further, and yet near enough to hear what God said to Moses and to them.

Éxodo 19:17 In-Context

15 «Prepárense para el tercer día y, hasta entonces, absténganse de tener relaciones sexuales».

16 En la mañana del tercer día, retumbaron truenos y destellaron relámpagos, y una nube densa descendió sobre el monte. Se oyó un fuerte y prolongado toque de cuerno de carnero, y todo el pueblo tembló.

17 Moisés llevó a la multitud fuera del campamento para encontrarse con Dios, y todos se pararon al pie de la montaña.

18 El monte Sinaí estaba totalmente cubierto de humo, porque el Señor
había descendido sobre él en forma de fuego. Nubes de humo subían al cielo como el humo que sale de un horno de ladrillos, y todo el monte se sacudía violentamente.

19 A medida que el sonido del cuerno de carnero se hacía cada vez más fuerte, Moisés hablaba y Dios le respondía con voz de trueno.
