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, e debaixo de seus pés havia como que uma calçada de pedra de safira, que parecia com o próprio céu na sua pureza.

11 Deus, porém, não estendeu a sua mão contra os nobres dos filhos de Israel; eles viram a Deus, e comeram e beberam.

12 Depois disse o Senhor a Moisés: Sobe a mim ao monte, e espera ali; e dar-te-ei tábuas de pedra, e a lei, e os mandamentos que tenho escrito, para lhos ensinares.

13 E levantando-se Moisés com Josué, seu servidor, subiu ao monte de Deus,

14 tendo dito aos anciãos: Esperai-nos aqui, até que tornemos a vós; eis que Arão e Hur ficam convosco; quem tiver alguma questão, se chegará a eles.
