Notes

Exodus 24:3

came: At this important moment, the people had to make a choice. Would they accept this relationship with God? Would they promise full loyalty to him and agree to live in ways that reflect his character?

They answered together, with one voice, that they would obey the covenant.

Exodus 24:1–18

Israel agreed to the terms of the covenant (24:3). The covenant was then confirmed through several ceremonies:

First, the covenant was written down and read aloud to the people (24:4, 7).
Then blood was sprinkled as part of the ceremony (24:6).
The leaders also shared a covenant meal in God’s presence (24:11).
Finally, the glory of the Lord appeared on the mountain (24:15–18).
