Exodus 24:13

Exodus 24:13

11 But on the nobles of the children of Israel He ^adid not lay His hand. So ^bthey saw God, and they ^cate and drank.

12 Then the Lord said to Moses, ^a“Come up to Me on the mountain and be there; and I will give you ^btablets of stone, and the law and commandments which I have written, that you may teach them.”

13 So Moses arose with ^ahis assistant Joshua, and Moses went up to the mountain of God.

14 And he said to the elders, “Wait here for us until we come back to you. Indeed, Aaron and ^aHur are with you. If any man has a difficulty, let him go to them.”

15 Then Moses went up into the mountain, and ^aa cloud covered the mountain.

16 Now ^athe glory of the Lord rested on Mount Sinai, and the cloud covered it six days. And on the seventh day He called to Moses out of the midst of the cloud.

17 The sight of the glory of the Lord was like ^aa consuming fire on the top of the mountain in the eyes of the children of Israel.

18 So Moses went into the midst of the cloud and went up into the mountain. And ^aMoses was on the mountain forty days and forty nights.

John Wesley's Notes

<< Exodus 24:12

Exodus 24:14 >>

Joshua was his minister or servant, and it would be a satisfaction to him to have him with him as a companion during the six days that he tarried in the mount before God called to him. Joshua was to be his successor, and therefore thus he was honoured before the people, and thus he was prepared by being trained up in communion with God. Joshua was a type of Christ, and (as the learned Bishop Peirson well observes Moses takes him with him into the mount, because without Jesus, in whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge, there is no looking into the secrets of heaven, nor approaching the presence of God.
