‏ Exodus 24:1

Introduction

This section connects to Exodus 20 (Exo 20:21). The part in between shows the contents of what Moses has been told by the LORD.

Approaching, but at a Distance

Moses is called by the LORD to come to Him together with Aaron, and Nadab and Abihu, his eldest sons, and a representation of the people. But “at a distance”. This distance is characteristic of the relationship between the LORD and His people in the Old Testament. For the New Testament church this distance is no longer there. The letter to the Hebrews shows in detail that the New Testament believers may approach God boldly in the sanctuary. This letter also shows how this is made possible: through Christ and His work.
