In the context of Exodus, God often speaks directly to Moses, establishing Moses as His chosen leader and mediator between God and the Israelites.Go down and bring Aaron with you Aaron is specifically mentioned, highlighting his role as Moses' brother and future high priest. This foreshadows Aaron's significant role in the priesthood and the establishment of the Levitical order. It also underscores the importance of leadership and the need for a mediator between God and His people.But the priests and the people must not break through This command underscores the holiness of God and the separation between the divine and the human. The priests, though set apart for service, are still not permitted to approach God without His explicit invitation. This reflects the broader biblical theme of God's holiness and the need for reverence and obedience.to come up to the LORD The mountain represents God's presence, and only those whom God calls may approach. This is a precursor to the tabernacle and temple systems, where access to God's presence is restricted and mediated through the priesthood, pointing to the need for a mediator.or He will break out against them This warning highlights the seriousness of approaching God improperly. It reflects the biblical principle that God's holiness cannot be violated without consequence.

Away, Get thee down. God wholly rejected the plea of Moses, that there was no need to give an additional warning. He knew best, and would not have issued the order to "go down and charge the people "(ver. 21), unless there had been a need for it. In the abrupt words "Away, get thee down," we may see a rebuke, addressed to Moses, for his folly in thinking that he could change the purposes of God. Thou and Aaron with thee. This is the first express mention of Aaron as called to ascend with Moses. But it is quite possible that he may have accompanied his brother in either or both the previous ascents (vers. 3, 20.
