Exodus 34:2 Meaning and Commentary

Exodus 34:2

And be ready in the morning
This was, according to the Jewish chronology ^F5, on the twenty eighth day of the month Ab or July:

and come up in the morning unto Mount Sinai;
the same mount where he had been before:

and present thyself there to me on the top of the mount;
where the pillar of cloud removed and stood, and near it Moses was to stand and wait to hear what would be said unto him, and to see what would be made to pass before him.

Exodus 34:2 In-Context

1 And Jehovah said unto Moses, Hew thee two tables of stone like unto the first: and I will write upon the tables the words that were on the first tables, which thou brakest.

2 And be ready by the morning, and come up in the morning unto mount Sinai, and present thyself there to me on the top of the mount.

3 And no man shall come up with thee; neither let any man be seen throughout all the mount; neither let the flocks nor herds feed before that mount.

4 And he hewed two tables of stone like unto the first; and Moses rose up early in the morning, and went up unto mount Sinai, as Jehovah had commanded him, and took in his hand two tables of stone.

5 And Jehovah descended in the cloud, and stood with him there, and proclaimed the name of Jehovah.
