Wow!What a chapter, the Lord had the 70 elders and the chosen few and brought them up to the place where He will give to Moses the 10 Commandments in stone tablets to last a lifetime. Moses gave the Lord's intentions to the people and they in turn were respondent in one voice that they would obey and wait for Moses's return. The 12 tribes would be accounted for and after reading to them the Book of the Covenant - the prior chapters included, they also responded in one voice that they would obey and wait. v 10 was surreal with the pavement changing representing the nearness of God. God allowed himself to be seen (probably Jesus) and they lived - ate and drank. Then Moses went up to the mountain to receive the 10 Commandments, leaving Aaron and Hur to take charge of disputes. The cloud covered the mountain (Sinai) and stayed there for 6 days and on the 7th day, Moses entered the cloud and stayed there for 40 days and nights. To the Israelites, the glory of the Lord looked like a consuming fire on the top of the mountain. An extremely visual and moving chapter.
Praiseful that David got to his destination ok. Spoke to Irene last night and did some catch-up as well. Weekend's up and heading home.
Praise for today: The Lord will keep you from all harm - he will watch over your life; the Lord will watch over your coming and going both now and forevermore. Ps 121: 7-8
