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 out two stone tablets that are just like the first ones. I will write on them the words that were on the first tablets, which you broke.

2 "Be ready in the morning. Then come up on Mount Sinai. Meet with me there on top of the mountain.

3 No one must come with you. No one must be seen anywhere on the mountain. Not even the flocks and herds must be allowed to eat grass in front of the mountain."

4 So Moses carved out two stone tablets that were just like the first ones. Early in the morning he went up Mount Sinai. He carried the two tablets in his hands. He did as the LORD had commanded him to do.

5 Then the LORD came down in the cloud. He stood there with Moses and announced his name, The Lord.
