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 The Lord said to Moses, "Cut two more stone tablets like the first two, and I will write the same words on them that were on the first two stones which you broke.

2 Be ready tomorrow morning, and then come up on Mount Sinai. Stand before me there on the top of the mountain.

3 No one may come with you or even be seen any place on the mountain. Not even the flocks or herds may eat grass near that mountain."

4 So Moses cut two stone tablets like the first ones. Then early the next morning he went up Mount Sinai, just as the Lord had commanded him, carrying the two stone tablets with him.

5 Then the Lord came down in the cloud and stood there with Moses, and the Lord called out his name: the Lord.
