Israel Affirms the Covenant

1 Now He said to Moses, “Come up to the Lord, you and Aaron, aNadab and Abihu, band seventy of the elders of Israel, and worship from afar.  
2 And Moses alone shall come near the Lord, but they shall not come near; nor shall the people go up with him.”
3 So Moses came and told the people all the words of the Lord and all the1 judgments. And all the people answered with one voice and said, a“All the words which the Lord has said we will do.”  
4 And Moses awrote all the words of the Lord. And he rose early in the morning, and built an altar at the foot of the mountain, and twelve bpillars according to the twelve tribes of Israel.  
Commentaries:


No entry exists in Forerunner Commentary for Exodus 24:1.

Exodus 24:1-8

It is interesting that, four times in this context, "all these words" is mentioned. We see there the importance of the Word of God and how it impacts us. We have here a description of the marriage covenant of Israel to God. The people agree to live according to "all these words." They promised to live by the word of God.

Moses, Aaron and his sons, and seventy of the elders partake in what the peace offering (mentioned in verse 5) signifies: fellowship and spiritual union in the presence of God.

Exodus 24:1-8

The covenant is here formally ratified and sealed with blood from burnt and peace offerings. Those burnt and peace offerings were saying that they were wholly in it and they were going to have a relationship with God.
