Éxodo 19:19 Meaning and Commentary

Exodus 19:19

And when the voice of the trumpet sounded long
Not in one continued tone, as before, ( Exodus 19:13 ) , where a different word is used, and when it decreased, and was about to cease, which was to summon the people to attend; but now they were come to the foot of the mount, and this sounding was a preparation to the giving of the law unto them, and was not one continued even tone: but waxed louder and louder; or, "going, and exceeding strong"; or, "strengthening itself exceedingly" ^F24; it went on to an high pitch, until it was exceeding vehement and strong, and so sonorous as scarce to be bore:

Moses spake;
what he said is not here recorded; it is highly probable, as has been observed by some, that he uttered those words related of him in ( Hebrews 12:21 ) "I exceedingly fear and quake": such an impression did this loud and strong voice of the trumpet make upon him:

and God answered him by a voice;
a still and gentle one, in order to encourage and comfort him; and so the Targum of Jonathan paraphrases it,

``with a pleasant and audible voice, and with delightful words.''

Éxodo 19:19 In-Context

17 Moisés llevó a la multitud fuera del campamento para encontrarse con Dios, y todos se pararon al pie de la montaña.

18 El monte Sinaí estaba totalmente cubierto de humo, porque el Señor
había descendido sobre él en forma de fuego. Nubes de humo subían al cielo como el humo que sale de un horno de ladrillos, y todo el monte se sacudía violentamente.

19 A medida que el sonido del cuerno de carnero se hacía cada vez más fuerte, Moisés hablaba y Dios le respondía con voz de trueno.

20 El Señor
descendió sobre la cumbre del monte Sinaí y llamó a Moisés a la cima. Así que Moisés subió al monte.

21 Entonces el Señor
le dijo a Moisés:
—Baja de nuevo y advierte al pueblo que no traspase los límites para ver al Señor
, porque quien lo haga morirá.
