Exodus 24 General Notes
Special concepts in this chapter
Moses' covenant
The people of Israel promise to obey the covenant Yahweh made with Moses. Their continued blessings were contingent upon their obedience to this covenant. (See: rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/promise and rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/covenant)
God's holiness
Because Yahweh is perfectly holy, he can only be approached in a certain way. Because of this, only Moses was allowed near Yahweh. This is also why Yahweh is described as a "devouring fire." (See: rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/holy)
