The phrase "Go near" indicates the people's fear and reverence for God's holiness, recognizing Moses as their mediator. This reflects the broader biblical theme of God's transcendence and the need for a mediator, which is fulfilled in the New Testament by Jesus Christ (<a href="/1_timothy/2-5.htm">1 Timothy 2:5</a>). The command to "listen" emphasizes the importance of hearing God's word, a recurring theme throughout Scripture (<a href="/romans/10-17.htm">Romans 10:17</a>). The phrase "the LORD our God" underscores the covenant relationship between God and Israel, highlighting His sovereignty and their identity as His chosen people.<p><b>Then you can tell us everything the LORD our God tells you;</b><br>Here, the Israelites express their desire for Moses to act as an intermediary. This reflects the historical context of ancient Near Eastern cultures, where intermediaries often communicated between deities and people. The role of Moses as a prophet is significant, as he is seen as a type of Christ, who is the ultimate prophet and mediator (<a href="/deuteronomy/18-15.htm">Deuteronomy 18:15</a>; <a href="/acts/3-22.htm">Acts 3:22</a>). The repetition of "the LORD our God" reinforces the personal and communal relationship with God, emphasizing His authority and the people's dependence on His guidance.<p><b>we will listen and obey.”</b><br>The commitment to "listen and obey" signifies the Israelites' acknowledgment of the necessity of obedience to God's commandments as part of their covenant relationship. This phrase highlights the biblical principle that true faith is demonstrated through obedience (<a href="/james/1-22.htm">James 1:22</a>). The historical context shows that Israel's success and blessing in the Promised Land were contingent upon their adherence to God's laws (Deuteronomy 28). This commitment also foreshadows the New Covenant, where believers are called to obey Christ's teachings as evidence of their faith (<a href="/john/14-15.htm">John 14:15</a>).<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/m/moses.htm">Moses</a></b><br>The leader of the Israelites who acts as the mediator between God and the people.
