"The LORD our God" emphasizes the covenant relationship between God and the Israelites. Horeb, another name for Mount Sinai, is significant as the place where God gave the Ten Commandments to Moses (Exodus 19-20). This location is central to the Israelites' identity as God's chosen people. The use of "our God" highlights the personal and communal relationship the Israelites have with God, distinguishing Him from the gods of surrounding nations. This phrase also connects to the broader narrative of God's guidance and provision throughout the Israelites' journey.<p><b>You have stayed at this mountain long enough.</b><br>This statement marks a transition from a period of preparation to action. The Israelites had been at Mount Horeb for about a year, receiving the Law and organizing themselves as a nation (<a href="/exodus/19.htm">Exodus 19:1</a>, <a href="/numbers/10-11.htm">Numbers 10:11</a>). The phrase suggests a divine prompting to move forward, indicating that the time of instruction and preparation is complete. It reflects a common biblical theme of moving from a place of comfort or stagnation to a new phase of faith and obedience. This command to move can be seen as a type of spiritual growth, urging believers to not become complacent but to continue pursuing God's purposes. Theologically, it underscores the importance of obedience to God's timing and direction, a theme echoed in other scriptures such as <a href="/ecclesiastes/3.htm">Ecclesiastes 3:1</a> and <a href="/hebrews/6.htm">Hebrews 6:1</a>.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_lord.htm">The LORD (Yahweh)</a></b><br>The covenant God of Israel, who speaks to His people and guides them.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/m/moses.htm">Moses</a></b><br>The leader of the Israelites, who communicates God's commands to the people.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/i/israelites.htm">Israelites</a></b><br>The chosen people of God, who are journeying from Egypt to the Promised Land.<br><br>4. <b><a href="/topical/h/horeb.htm">Horeb (Mount Sinai)</a></b><br>The mountain where God gave the Ten Commandments and made a covenant with Israel.<br><br>5. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_exodus.htm">The Exodus</a></b><br>The event of Israel's liberation from Egyptian slavery, leading to their journey through the wilderness.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/g/god's_timing_and_direction.htm">God's Timing and Direction</a></b><br>God knows when it is time for us to move forward.

It is of an introductory character, and is occupied chiefly with a retrospective survey of the events that had occurred during the forty years of their wanderings. By this Moses reminded the people how God had fulfilled his promises to them, and at the same time, how they had by their rebellion drawn down on them his displeasure, which had caused their wanderings to be so much more protracted than they would otherwise have been. <span class="cmt_sub_title">Verses 6-8.</span> - The Lord's command to depart from Horeb, and his promise to the people. <span class="cmt_sub_title">Verse 6.</span> - <span class="cmt_word">The Lord our God</span> <span class="accented">- Jehovah our God</span>.
