Êxodo 24:12 Meaning and Commentary

Exodus 24:12

And the Lord said unto Moses, come up to me into the mount,
&c.] For as yet Moses was not got up to the top of the mount, only up some part of it with the elders, though at some distance from the people: but now he is bid to come up higher:

and be there;
continue there, as he did six days after this:

and I will give thee tables of stone, and a law, and commandments which
I have written;
that is, the law of the ten commandments, which were written on tables of stone by the Lord himself; he had already spoken them in the hearing of the people, but now he had wrote them, and that in tables of stone; partly for the duration of them, and partly to represent the hardness of the hearts of the Israelites, the stubbornness of their wills to comply with his law, their contumacy and obstinate persistence in disobedience to it:

that thou mayest teach them;
these being in hand and sight, would have an opportunity of explaining them to them and inculcating them on their minds, and pressing them to yield an obedience to them.

Êxodo 24:12 In-Context

10 e viram o Deus de Israel, sob cujos pés havia algo semelhante a um pavimento de safira, como o céu em seu esplendor.

11 Deus, porém, não estendeu a mão para punir esses líderes do povo de Israel; eles viram a Deus, e depois comeram e beberam.

12 Disse o SENHOR a Moisés: “Suba o monte, venha até mim e fique aqui; e lhe darei as tábuas de pedra com a lei e os mandamentos que escrevi para a instrução do povo”.

13 Moisés partiu com Josué, seu auxiliar, e subiu ao monte de Deus.

14 Disse ele às autoridades de Israel: “Esperem-nos aqui, até que retornemos. Arão e Hur ficarão com vocês; quem tiver alguma questão para resolver, poderá procurá-los”.
