The Key Word — יַעֲלֶ֣ה, ya.'a.Lehgenerated
The verb עָלָה (alah) means 'to ascend' or 'to go up'. It is used here in the imperfect tense, indicating an action that is not completed yet, which fits the context of Moses preparing to ascend the mountain to meet God. The root of this word suggests movement upwards, which is significant in the context of approaching the divine.
In this verse, the prohibition against anyone else ascending with Moses underscores the unique and sacred nature of his encounter with God. The use of the verb in the jussive form emphasizes the command nature of the instruction, indicating that it is not merely a suggestion but a divine decree.
How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated
This study reads the verse in the Berean Standard Bible, so the BSB is the wording every comparison below is made against.
Sentence Structuregenerated
The main verb of the verse is יַעֲלֶ֣ה, he will go up, which governs the entire sentence. The structure includes several phrases that provide additional context: a negation indicating that no one may accompany Moses, a further negation about visibility, and a final clause regarding the grazing of livestock.
The Hebrew word order emphasizes the prohibitions placed on both people and animals, highlighting the sanctity of the mountain as a divine meeting place.
Septuagint Backgroundgenerated
The Septuagint translates יַעֲלֶ֣ה as ἀναβήτω, which means 'let him go up'. This choice reflects a direct command and maintains the imperative nature of the original Hebrew.
The translation choice indicates a similar understanding of the need for exclusivity and holiness in the encounter with God, aligning closely with the Hebrew intent.
In plain words — the whole versegenerated
Exodus 34:3 tells us that God instructed Moses that no one was allowed to go up the mountain with him, nor could anyone be seen on the mountain. This includes even the animals, which were not to graze in front of the mountain. This emphasizes the holiness of the place where God would meet Moses.
Frequently Asked Questionsgenerated
This prohibition emphasizes the sanctity of the encounter between God and Moses, highlighting that this meeting is unique and requires complete separation from others.
The prohibition against livestock grazing near the mountain underscores the sacredness of the location, indicating that it is a place set apart for divine revelation.
The command suggests that God's presence is holy and cannot be approached casually; it requires reverence and separation from the common.
This verse connects with the themes of holiness and divine encounter in Exodus, as seen in other passages where God instructs His people on how to approach Him.

Charles John Ellicott1819–1905Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(3) No man shall come up with thee . . . —These stringent commands were new. On the previous occasion, Aaron, Hur, and the elders had ascended the mount part of the way (Exodus 24:9-11); and Joshua had accompanied his master almost to the summit (Exodus 24:13), and had apparently remained in some part of the mountain during the whole time of Moses’ stay (Exodus 32:17). Now Moses was to be quite alone, and no one was to be seen in any part of the mount. The stringency of the new orders must be connected with the promised revelation to Moses of God’s glory (Exodus 33:21-23).

The precautions are similar to those taken in Exodus 19:12 f. before] rather, in front of, i.e. on the slopes in front of the mountain, towards its foot. As was pointed out on p. 347, the historical retrospect in Deuteronomy 9:8-29 is based largely upon Exodus 32, and contains numerous verbal excerpts from it; and a comparison of Deu 10:1-3 with Exodus 34:1; Exodus 34:4 makes it practically certain that in the text of Exo 34:1; Exodus 34:4 which lay before the author of Dt., there was mention of the ark as made at this time by Moses. Here is the text of Deu 10:1-3, with the words excerpted from Exodus 34:1-2; Exodus 34:4 printed in italics:—‘(Deuteronomy 10:1) At that time Jehovah said…

The usual Hebrew word is tso'n, which is often translated "flock," e.g. "Abel .... brought of the firstlings of his flock" (Ge 4:4); "butter of the herd, and milk of the flock" (De 32:14). The King James Version and the English Revised Version have "milk of sheep." Compare Arabic da'n. The Greek word is probaton. For other names, see notes under CATTLE; EWE; LAMB; RAM.
2. Zoology:
The origin of domestic sheep is unknown. There are 11 wild species, the majority of which are found in Asia, and it is conceivable that they may have spread from the highlands of Central Asia to the other portions of their habitat. In North America is found the "bighorn," which is very closely related to a Kamschatkan species. One species, the urial or sha, is found in India. The Barbary…
Sheep
Are of different varieties. Probably the flocks of Abraham and Isaac were of the wild species found still in the mountain regions of Persia and Kurdistan. After the Exodus, and as a result of intercourse with surrounding nations, other species were no doubt introduced into the herds of the people of Israel. They are frequently mentioned in Scripture. The care of a shepherd over his flock is referred to as illustrating God’s care over his people (Ps. 23:1, 2; 74:1; 77:20; Isa. 40:11; 53:6; John 10:1-5, 7-16).

Sheep were an important part of the possessions of the ancient Hebrews and of eastern nations generally. The first mention of sheep occurs in (Genesis 4:2) They were used in the sacrificial offering,as, both the adult animal, (Exodus 20:24) and the lamb. See (Exodus 29:28; Leviticus 9:3; 12:6) Sheep and lambs formed an important article of food. (1 Samuel 25:18) The wool was used as clothing. (Leviticus 13:47) "Rams skins dyed red" were used as a covering for the tabernacle. (Exodus 25:5) Sheep and lambs were…
Of the Syrian sheep, according to Dr. Russell, there are two varieties; the one called Bedaween sheep, which differ in no respect from the larger kinds of sheep among us, except that their tails are somewhat longer and thicker; the others are those often mentioned by travellers on account of their extraordinary tails; and this species is by far the most numerous. The tail of one of these animals is very broad and large, terminating in a small appendage that turns back upon it. It is of a substance between fat and marrow, and is not eaten separately, but mixed with the lean meat in many of their dishes, and also often used instead of butter. A common sheep of this sort, without the head, feet, skin, and entrails, weighs from sixty to eighty pounds, of which the tail itself is usually ten or fifteen pounds, and when the animal is fattened, twice or thrice that weight, and very…

ov:
(1) In Anglo-Saxon, had the meaning "from," "away from" (as the strengthened form "off" has still), and was not used for genitive or possessive relations, these being expressed by special case-forms. In the Norman period, however, "of" was taken to represent the French de (a use well developed by the time of Chaucer), and in the Elizabethan period both senses of "of" were in common use. But after about 1600 the later force of the word became predominant, and in the earlier sense (which is now practically obsolete) it was replaced by other prepositions. In consequence the King James Version (and in some cases the Revised Version (British and American)) contains many uses of "of" that are no longer familiar--most of them, to be sure, causing no difficulty, but there still being a few responsible for real obscurities.
