Context — Moses on the Mountain

14And he said to the elders, “Wait here for us until we return to you. Aaron and Hur are here with you. Whoever has a dispute can go to them.” 15When Moses went up on the mountain, the cloud covered it,

16and the glory of the LORD settled on Mount Sinai. For six days the cloud covered it, and on the seventh day the LORD called to Moses from within the cloud.

17And the sight of the glory of the LORD was like a consuming fire on the mountaintop in the eyes of the Israelites. 18Moses entered the cloud as he went up on the mountain, and he remained on the mountain forty days and forty nights.

Exodus 24:16 Summary

This verse describes a powerful moment when God's glory settled on Mount Sinai, and He called to Moses from within a cloud. The cloud covered the mountain for six days, and on the seventh day, God spoke to Moses, which is significant because the seventh day is often associated with rest and completion, as seen in Exodus 20:11. This event is a reminder that God is a God of mystery and power, and that He often works in ways that are beyond our understanding, as seen in Isaiah 55:8-9. By trusting in God's presence and power, we can have confidence that He is working in our lives, even when we don't see or understand everything that is happening, just like Moses had to trust God as he waited on the mountain.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the glory of the LORD mean in Exodus 24:16?

The glory of the LORD refers to the manifestation of God's presence and power, as seen in other scriptures like Isaiah 6:1-5 and Ezekiel 1:4-28, where God's glory is described as a radiant and awe-inspiring sight.

Why did the cloud cover Mount Sinai for six days before God called to Moses?

The six days may have been a time of preparation and waiting for Moses, similar to the waiting period in Exodus 19:10-11, where the people were instructed to consecrate themselves before God's descent upon the mountain.

What is the significance of God calling to Moses from within the cloud on the seventh day?

The seventh day is often associated with completion and rest in the Bible, as seen in Exodus 20:11 and Genesis 2:2-3, so God's call to Moses on this day may signify a new beginning or a significant revelation, as Moses is about to receive the Ten Commandments in Exodus 20:1-17.

How does this event relate to the rest of the Exodus story?

This event is a pivotal moment in the Exodus narrative, as it marks the beginning of God's covenant with the Israelites, which is further elaborated in Exodus 19:5-6 and Deuteronomy 29:1-15, and sets the stage for the giving of the Law and the establishment of the tabernacle.

Reflection Questions

What does it mean to wait on God, as Moses did on Mount Sinai, and how can I apply this principle in my own life?
How can I respond to God's call, as Moses did, with faith and obedience, even when the circumstances seem uncertain or challenging?
What are some ways I can prepare myself to meet with God, like the Israelites were instructed to do in Exodus 19:10-11, and what are some potential distractions or obstacles that might hinder my relationship with Him?
In what ways can I trust in God's presence and power, as manifested in the cloud on Mount Sinai, to guide and sustain me in my own journey of faith?

Gill's Exposition on Exodus 24:16

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Exodus 24:16

And the glory of the LORD abode upon mount Sinai, and the cloud covered it six days: and the seventh day he called unto Moses out of the midst of the cloud. No JFB commentary on this verse.

Matthew Poole's Commentary on Exodus 24:16

The glory of the Lord, i.e. the tokens of his glorious presence in the fire, . The cloud covered it from the eyes of the people. The seventh day; so long God made Moses wait, either to exercise his humility, devotion, and dependence upon God; or to prepare him by degrees for so great a work; or because this was the sabbath day, called therefore the seventh with an emphatical article; and God might choose that day for the beginning of that glorious work, to put the greater honour upon it, and oblige the people to a stricter observance of it. So it was upon a Lord’ s day that St. John had his revelation delivered to him, .

Trapp's Commentary on Exodus 24:16

Exodus 24:16 And the glory of the LORD abode upon mount Sinai, and the cloud covered it six days: and the seventh day he called unto Moses out of the midst of the cloud.Ver. 16. Six days.] The people had but three days of preparation to receive the law; Moses hath six. Singular holiness is required of ministers: the measures of the sanctuary were double to the ordinary, as the shekel, cubit, &c. Ministers had need wish, as Elisha did, a doubled and trebled spirit, that they may save themselves and those that hear them.

Ellicott's Commentary on Exodus 24:16

(16) The seventh day he called unto Moses out of the midst of the cloud.—Moses, it is evident, would not enter the cloud without a positive summons. It pleased God to put off the summons for six days. Moses doubtless employed the time in such prayer and meditation as rendered him fit for near contact with Deity.

Adam Clarke's Commentary on Exodus 24:16

Verse 16. And the seventh day he called] It is very likely that Moses went up into the mount on the first day of the week; and having with Joshua remained in the region of the cloud during six days, on the seventh, which was the Sabbath, God spake to him, and delivered successively to him, during forty days and forty nights, the different statutes and ordinances which are afterwards mentioned.
