For several chapters, Moses has been relaying the Lord's instructions to the people, what they need to know about how they are to live in the land promised to them. In the passage we are reading today, Moses returns to the top of the mountain where he had heard the Lord speak the Ten Commandments (He'll get the stone tablets in Ch 31). He is accompanied part way by elders, but the Lord calls him to come up alone.
The Lord says to Moses,
Come up to me on the mountain.
Wait there.
I will furnish instructions to ensure community.
Moses climbed up the mountain.
Do we have holy places today? How do we discern God's will for us? Are we willing to climb a mountain to find out what God wants us to do? How important is community to us anyway?
