Éxodo 24:1 Meaning and Commentary

Exodus 24:1

And he said unto Moses
Who said? no doubt a divine Person, and yet what this Person said is,

come up unto the Lord;
meaning either to himself, or one divine Person called to Moses to come up to another: according to the Targum of Jonathan, it was Michael, the prince of wisdom; not a created angel, but the eternal Word, Wisdom, and Son of God; who said this on the seventh day of the month, which was the day after the giving of the law, or ten commands; though Jarchi says this paragraph was before the ten commands, and was said on the fourth of Sivan; but the Targumist seems most correct:

come up unto the Lord, thou and Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, and seventy
of the elders of Israel;
Nadab and Abihu were the two eldest sons of Aaron, ( Exodus 6:23 ) and the seventy elders were not all the elders of Israel, but were so many of them selected out of them, the chief and principal; who were heads of tribes and families, and were no doubt many, if not all of them, of those who by the advice of Jethro were chosen to be rulers of thousands, hundreds, and fifties; these were called to come up to the Lord on the mountain, but not to the top of it, only Moses went thither:

and worship ye afar off:
from the people, and even at a distance from Moses; for he only was admitted near to God, as the following verse shows.

Éxodo 24:1 In-Context

1 Israel acepta el pacto del Señor
Luego el Señor
instruyó a Moisés: «Sube para encontrarte conmigo, y ven junto con Aarón, Nadab y Abiú, y setenta de los ancianos de Israel. Todos tendrán que adorar de lejos;

2 solo a Moisés se le permite acercarse al Señor
. Los demás no se acercarán, y a nadie del pueblo se le permite subir al monte con él».

3 Después Moisés descendió y le repitió al pueblo todas las instrucciones y ordenanzas que el Señor
le había dado, y todo el pueblo respondió a una voz: «Haremos todo lo que el Señor
ha ordenado».

4 Entonces Moisés escribió cuidadosamente todas las instrucciones del Señor
, y temprano a la mañana siguiente se levantó y construyó un altar al pie del monte. También levantó doce columnas, una por cada tribu de Israel.

5 Luego envió a unos jóvenes israelitas a presentar ofrendas quemadas y a sacrificar toros como ofrendas de paz al Señor
.
