Êxodo 19:20 Meaning and Commentary

Exodus 19:20

And the Lord came down on Mount Sinai
In the above visible tokens of his presence and power; otherwise he is the incomprehensible Jehovah, that immense and omnipotent Being, who fills heaven and earth, and cannot be contained and circumscribed in either:

on the top of the mount;
where the fire he descended in rested, and where the smoke and thick cloud were, as a token of his presence:

and the Lord called Moses up to the top of the mount;
who either was at the bottom of it with the people, or in a higher ascent of it between God and them:

and Moses went up;
to the top of it, where the Lord was, as he ordered him: a certain traveller F25 tells us that the top of this mount was scarce thirty feet in circumference.

Êxodo 19:20 In-Context

18 Nisso todo o monte Sinai fumegava, porque o Senhor descera sobre ele em fogo; e a fumaça subiu como a fumaça de uma fornalha, e todo o monte tremia fortemente.
19 E, crescendo o sonido da buzina cada vez mais, Moisés falava, e Deus lhe respondia por uma voz.
20 E, tendo o Senhor descido sobre o monte Sinai, sobre o cume do monte, chamou a Moisés ao cume do monte; e Moisés subiu.
21 Então disse o Senhor a Moisés: Desce, adverte ao povo, para não suceder que traspasse os limites até o Senhor, a fim de ver, e muitos deles pereçam.
22 Ora, santifiquem-se também os sacerdotes, que se chegam ao Senhor, para que o Senhor não se lance sobre eles.
