The Hebrew root for "came" is "בּוֹא" (bo), which often signifies entering or arriving with purpose. Moses' arrival is not just physical but also spiritual, as he brings divine revelation to the people. Historically, Moses' role as a leader and prophet is central to the Israelite identity, and his actions here underscore his obedience and dedication to God's mission.and told the people The act of telling or declaring is rooted in the Hebrew word "דָּבַר" (dabar), which implies not just speaking but conveying a message with authority. Moses is not merely relaying information; he is delivering God's commandments, which carry divine authority. This highlights the importance of communication in the covenant relationship between God and His people, emphasizing the need for clarity and faithfulness in transmitting God's word.all the words of the LORD The phrase "words of the LORD" underscores the divine origin of the message. The Hebrew term for "words" is "דְּבָרִים" (devarim), which can also mean matters or things, indicating the comprehensive nature of God's communication. This reflects the belief that God's words are not just commands but encompass His will and purpose for His people. The use of "all" emphasizes the completeness and sufficiency of God's revelation.and all the ordinances Ordinances, from the Hebrew "מִשְׁפָּטִים" (mishpatim), refer to judgments or decrees. These are specific laws that govern the community's life, reflecting God's justice and righteousness. The inclusion of both words and ordinances indicates that God's covenant involves both moral and legal dimensions, guiding the Israelites in their relationship with Him and with each other.they all responded with one voice The unity of the people is highlighted here, as they respond collectively. The phrase "with one voice" suggests unanimity and shared commitment. This collective response is significant in the context of covenant-making, as it demonstrates the people's willingness to enter into a binding agreement with God. It reflects the communal nature of the covenant, where individual and collective responsibilities are intertwined.'All the words that the LORD has spoken, we will do.' This declaration of obedience is a pivotal moment of commitment. The phrase "we will do" (נַעֲשֶׂה, na'aseh) is a pledge of action and faithfulness. It signifies the people's acceptance of God's authority and their readiness to live according to His commandments. This echoes the covenantal theme of obedience as a response to divine grace, where the people's actions are a reflection of their relationship with God. The repetition of "all the words" emphasizes their comprehensive commitment to God's will.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/ellicott/exodus/24.htm">Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers</a></div>(3) Moses . . . told the people all the words of the Lord.--Moses gave them an outline of the legislation which he subsequently committed to writing (<a href="/exodus/24-4.htm" title="And Moses wrote all the words of the LORD, and rose up early in the morning, and built an altar under the hill, and twelve pillars, according to the twelve tribes of Israel.">Exodus 24:4</a>) and formed into "the Book of the Covenant" (<a href="/exodus/24-7.htm" title="And he took the book of the covenant, and read in the audience of the people: and they said, All that the LORD has said will we do, and be obedient.">Exodus 24:7</a>). Its general purport and main heads were communicated, but probably not all its details. Otherwise it would scarcely have been necessary to read the contents of the book to them. The people willingly gave in their adhesion, feeling the laws to be "holy, just, and good," and not yet knowing how difficult they would find it to render a perfect obedience.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/exodus/24.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div>Verse 3. - And Moses came. Moses descended from the mount, and reported to the people all the words of the Lord - all the legislation contained in the last three chapters and a half (<a href="/exodus/20-19.htm">Exodus 20:19</a>, to <a href="/exodus/23-33.htm">Exodus 23:33</a>), not perhaps in extenso, but as to its main provisions. And all the people answered with one voice, promising obedience. In times of excitement, a common impulse constantly animates an entire multitude, and an exaltation of feeling leads them to make pledges, which they are very unwilling to stand by afterwards. Hence Moses requires something more than a verbal assent. <a href="/commentaries/exodus/24-3.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a> <a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div>When Moses מֹשֶׁ֗ה (mō·šeh) Noun - proper - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_4872.htm">Strong's 4872: </a> Moses -- a great Israelite leader, prophet and lawgiver came וַיָּבֹ֣א (way·yā·ḇō) Conjunctive waw | Verb - Qal - Consecutive imperfect - third person masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_935.htm">Strong's 935: </a> To come in, come, go in, go and told וַיְסַפֵּ֤ר (way·sap·pêr) Conjunctive waw | Verb - Piel - Consecutive imperfect - third person masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_5608.htm">Strong's 5608: </a> To count, recount, relate the people לָעָם֙ (lā·‘ām) Preposition-l, Article | Noun - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_5971.htm">Strong's 5971: </a> A people, a tribe, troops, attendants, a flock all כָּל־ (kāl-) Noun - masculine singular construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3605.htm">Strong's 3605: </a> The whole, all, any, every the words דִּבְרֵ֣י (diḇ·rê) Noun - masculine plural construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_1697.htm">Strong's 1697: </a> A word, a matter, thing, a cause and כָּל־ (kāl-) Noun - masculine singular construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3605.htm">Strong's 3605: </a> The whole, all, any, every ordinances הַמִּשְׁפָּטִ֑ים (ham·miš·pā·ṭîm) Article | Noun - masculine plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_4941.htm">Strong's 4941: </a> A verdict, a sentence, formal decree, divine law, penalty, justice, privilege, style of the LORD, יְהוָ֔ה (Yah·weh) Noun - proper - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3068.htm">Strong's 3068: </a> LORD -- the proper name of the God of Israel [they] הָעָ֜ם (hā·‘ām) Article | Noun - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_5971.htm">Strong's 5971: </a> A people, a tribe, troops, attendants, a flock all כָּל־ (kāl-) Noun - masculine singular construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3605.htm">Strong's 3605: </a> The whole, all, any, every responded וַיַּ֨עַן (way·ya·‘an) Conjunctive waw | Verb - Qal - Consecutive imperfect - third person masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_6030.htm">Strong's 6030: </a> To answer, respond with one אֶחָד֙ (’e·ḥāḏ) Number - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_259.htm">Strong's 259: </a> United, one, first voice: ק֤וֹל (qō·wl) Noun - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_6963.htm">Strong's 6963: </a> A voice, sound “All כָּל־ (kāl-) Noun - masculine singular construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3605.htm">Strong's 3605: </a> The whole, all, any, every the words הַדְּבָרִ֛ים (had·də·ḇā·rîm) Article | Noun - masculine plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_1697.htm">Strong's 1697: </a> A word, a matter, thing, a cause that אֲשֶׁר־ (’ă·šer-) Pronoun - relative <a href="/hebrew/strongs_834.htm">Strong's 834: </a> Who, which, what, that, when, where, how, because, in order that the LORD יְהוָ֖ה (Yah·weh) Noun - proper - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3068.htm">Strong's 3068: </a> LORD -- the proper name of the God of Israel has spoken, דִּבֶּ֥ר (dib·ber) Verb - Piel - Perfect - third person masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_1696.htm">Strong's 1696: </a> To arrange, to speak, to subdue we will do.” נַעֲשֶֽׂה׃ (na·‘ă·śeh) Verb - Qal - Imperfect - first person common plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_6213.htm">Strong's 6213: </a> To do, make <div class="vheading">Links</div><a href="/niv/exodus/24-3.htm">Exodus 24:3 NIV</a> <a href="/nlt/exodus/24-3.htm">Exodus 24:3 NLT</a> <a href="/esv/exodus/24-3.htm">Exodus 24:3 ESV</a> <a href="/nasb/exodus/24-3.htm">Exodus 24:3 NASB</a> <a href="/kjv/exodus/24-3.htm">Exodus 24:3 KJV</a> <a href="//bibleapps.com/exodus/24-3.htm">Exodus 24:3 BibleApps.com</a> <a href="//bibliaparalela.com/exodus/24-3.htm">Exodus 24:3 Biblia Paralela</a> <a href="//holybible.com.cn/exodus/24-3.htm">Exodus 24:3 Chinese Bible</a> <a href="//saintebible.com/exodus/24-3.htm">Exodus 24:3 French Bible</a> <a href="/catholic/exodus/24-3.htm">Exodus 24:3 Catholic Bible</a> <a href="/exodus/24-3.htm">OT Law: Exodus 24:3 Moses came and told the people all (Exo.
