Commentary— Tyndale Open Study Notes (plain English)
24:1-18 Israel agreed to the terms of the covenant (24:3), which was then ratified in several ceremonial activities. This included the formal writing and reading of the covenant (24:4, 7), the splattering of blood (24:6), a covenant meal (24:11), and the appearing of the glory of the Lord on the mountain (24:15-18). 24:1-2 Some commentators suggest that Moses, Aaron, Nadab, Abihu, and the elders made two trips up the mountain, here and in 24:9-11. However, this command was probably given in advance and obeyed at the proper time in 24:9.
