It suggests a period of preparation and anticipation. The Israelites had been waiting for Moses' return, and this moment marks a transition from waiting to action. Historically, this reflects the Israelites' journey from uncertainty to receiving divine instruction, emphasizing the importance of timing in God's plan.<p><b>all the Israelites</b><br />This phrase underscores the collective nature of the covenant community. Every member of the Israelite nation is included, highlighting the communal aspect of God's covenant. In the Hebrew context, "all" (כָּל, kol) signifies completeness and unity, reminding us that God's commands and promises are for the entire community, not just individuals. This reflects the biblical theme of corporate responsibility and blessing.<p><b>came near</b><br />The act of coming near signifies a willingness to approach and engage with the divine message. In the Hebrew tradition, drawing near (קָרַב, qarab) often implies a readiness to listen and obey. This phrase suggests a posture of reverence and attentiveness, as the Israelites prepare to receive God's commandments. It is a reminder of the importance of proximity to God in order to understand His will.<p><b>he commanded them</b><br />Moses, as the mediator between God and the Israelites, relays God's commands. The Hebrew root for "command" (צָוָה, tsavah) conveys the idea of giving orders with authority. This highlights Moses' role as a leader and prophet, entrusted with the responsibility to instruct the people according to God's will. It underscores the importance of obedience to divinely appointed leadership.<p><b>to do everything</b><br />This phrase emphasizes the comprehensive nature of God's instructions. The Hebrew word for "everything" (כָּל, kol) again signifies totality, indicating that the Israelites are to follow all of God's commands without exception. This reflects the biblical principle that partial obedience is insufficient; God desires complete adherence to His laws.<p><b>that the LORD had told him</b><br />The phrase points to the divine origin of the commandments. "The LORD" (יְהוָה, Yahweh) is the covenant name of God, emphasizing His eternal and unchanging nature. The communication between God and Moses on Mount Sinai is a direct revelation, underscoring the authority and sacredness of the message. It reminds us of the importance of divine revelation in guiding the lives of believers.<p><b>on Mount Sinai</b><br />Mount Sinai is a significant location in biblical history, representing the place where God revealed His law to Moses. It is a symbol of divine encounter and covenant. The mention of Mount Sinai serves as a reminder of the sacredness of the law and the profound experience of God's presence. It is a call to remember the foundational moments of faith and the importance of sacred spaces in spiritual life.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/exodus/34.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div><span class="cmt_sub_title">Verse 32.</span> -
