Esodo 34:27 Meaning and Commentary

Exodus 34:27

And the Lord said unto Moses
Being still with him on the mount:

write thou these words;
expressed in the preceding verses, from ( Exodus 34:11-27 ) , as he before had written in a book all those laws, contained in ( Exodus 21:1-23:33 ) called the book of the covenant, ( Exodus 24:4 Exodus 24:7 ) and which perhaps might be destroyed, as well as the two tables were broken; and therefore upon the renewal of the covenant here, there is a repetition made of the principal laws before given, which are ordered also to be written in a book, which may very well be called by the same name, since it follows:

for after the tenor of these words I have made a covenant with
thee and with Israel,
with Moses, as their representative and mediator, and with them represented by him: what is above related carries in it the form of a covenant between them, God having declared on his part what he would do for them, and what laws and rules he required to be observed on their part; which Moses assented to in their name, and was ordered to write them down, that he might repeat them to them.

Esodo 34:27 In-Context

25 Scannando il mio sacrificio, non ispandere il sangue di esso con pan lievitato; e non sia il sacrificio della festa della Pasqua guardato la notte infino alla mattina.
26 Porta nella Casa del Signore Iddio tuo le primizie de’ primi frutti della tua terra. Non cuocere il capretto nel latte di sua madre.
27 Poi il Signore disse a Mosè: Scrivi queste parole, perciocchè su queste parole io ho fatto patto teco e con Israele.
28 E Mosè stette quivi col Signore quaranta giorni e quaranta notti; senza mangiar pane, nè bere acqua; e il Signore scrisse sopra quelle tavole le parole del patto, le dieci parole.
29 Ora, quando Mosè scese dal monte di Sinai, avendo le due Tavole della Testimonianza in mano, mentre scendeva dal monte, egli non sapeva che la pelle del suo viso era divenuta risplendente, mentre egli parlava col Signore.
