Bible Question: Explain verses 9-18 Exodus chapter 24. |
Bible Answer: Greetings Barbara Smith, Exodus 24:9-18 "Then Moses and Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel went up, and they saw the God of Israel. There was under his feet as it were a pavement of sapphire stone, like the very heaven for clearness. And he did not lay his hand on the chief men of the people of Israel; they beheld God, and ate and drank. The LORD said to Moses, "Come up to me on the mountain and wait there, that I may give you the tablets of stone, with the law and the commandment, which I have written for their instruction." So Moses rose with his assistant Joshua, and Moses went up into the mountain of God. And he said to the elders, "Wait here for us until we return to you. And behold, Aaron and Hur are with you. Whoever has a dispute, let him go to them." Then Moses went up on the mountain, and the cloud covered the mountain. The glory of the LORD dwelt 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. Now the appearance of the glory of the LORD was like a devouring fire on the top of the mountain in the sight of the people of Israel. Moses entered the cloud and went up on the mountain. And Moses was on the mountain forty days and forty nights." [ESV] Exodus 24:1-9 summarization - After Moses, Aaron, Nadab, Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel built altars and offered peace offerings to the LORD, Moses sprinkled the altar with blood, read the book of the Covenant and the people responded in obedience. Then Moses took the blood, sprinkled it on the people and said "Behold the blood of the covenant that the LORD has made with you in accordance with all these words." So now, we get to verses 9-18.. Moses, Aaron, Nadab, Abihu and the 70 elders go to the meeting place where they see God. Perhaps they didn't dare to look higher than under His feet, since only the area under His feet is described. The elders and Aaron, Nadab and Abihu beheld God and ate and drank while Moses and Joshua went up the mountain where they stayed forty days and forty nights. Please let me know if there is anything that you would like to discuss in more detail. Blessings to you, Makarios |
