13 And Moses rose up, and his minister Joshua: and Moses went up into the mount of God.
13 Then Moses set out with Joshua his aide, and Moses went up on the mountain of God.
13 So Moses rose with his assistant Joshua, and Moses went up into the mountain of God.
13 So Moses got up, accompanied by Joshua his aide. And Moses climbed up the mountain of God.
13 So Moses arose with his assistant Joshua, and Moses went up to the mountain of God.
13 So Moses and his assistant Joshua set out, and Moses climbed up the mountain of God.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Exodus 24:13
Commentary on Exodus 24:12-18
(Read Exodus 24:12-18)
A cloud covered the mount six days; a token of God's special presence there. Moses was sure that he who called him up would protect him. Even those glorious attributes of God which are most terrible to the wicked, the saints with humble reverence rejoice in. And through faith in the atoning Sacrifice, we hope for greater honour than Moses ever enjoyed on earth. Now we see through a glass darkly, but when he shall appear, then face to face. This vision of God will continue with equal, if not increasing brightness of joy; not for a few days only, but through eternity.
