24 Moses as mediator between God and Israel, having received divers laws and ordinances from God in the foregoing chapters, in this chapter,

1. Comes down to the people, acquaints them with the laws he had received, and takes their consent to those laws, Exo 24:3.
   writes the laws, and reads them to the people, who repeat their consent, Exo 24:4-7.
   and then by sacrifice, and the sprinkling of blood ratifies the covenant between them and God, Exo 24:5-6, Exo 24:8
   
2. He returns to God again, to receive farther directions. When he was dismissed from his former attendance, he was ordered to attend again, Exo 24:1-2.
   He did so with seventy of the elders, to whom God made a discovery of his glory, Exo 24:9-11.
   Moses is ordered up into the mount, Exo 24:12-13.
   the rest are ordered down to the people, Exo 24:14.
   The cloud of glory is seen by all the people on the top of mount Sinai, Exo 24:15-17.
   and Moses is there with God forty days and forty nights, Exo 24:18.
   

24:3 Moses told the people all the words of the Lord - He laid before them all the precepts, in the foregoing chapters, and put it to them, whether they were willing to submit to these laws or no? And all the people answered, All the words which the Lord hath said we will do - They had before consented in general to be under God's government; here they consent in particular to these laws now given.

24:4 And Moses wrote the words of the Lord - That there might be no mistake; as God dictated them on the mount, where, it is highly probable, God taught him the use of letters. These Moses taught the Israelites, from whom they afterwards travelled to Greece and other nations. As soon as God had separated to himself a peculiar people, he governed them by a written word, as he has done ever since, and will do while the world stands. Pillars according to the number of the tribes - These were to represent the people, the other party to the covenant; and we may suppose they were set up over against the altar, and that Moses as mediator passed to and fro between them. Probably each tribe set up and knew its own pillar, and their elders stood by it. He then appointed sacrifices to be offered upon the altar.

24:6  1. The blood of the sacrifice which the people offered was (part of it) sprinkled upon the altar, which signified the people'sdedicating themselves to God, and his honour. In the blood of the sacrifices, all the Israelites were presented unto God as living sacrifices, Rom 12:1. 2. The blood of the sacrifice which God had owned and accepted was (the remainder of it) sprinkled, either upon the people themselves, orupon the pillars that represented them, which signified God's conferring his favour upon them, and all the fruits of that favour, and his giving them all the gifts they could desire from a God reconciled to them, and in covenant with them. This part of the ceremony was thus explained, Behold the blood of the covenant; see here how God sealed to you to be a God, and you seal to be to him a people; his promises to you, and yours to him, are yea and amen. Thus our Lord Jesus, the Mediator of the new covenant (of whom Moses was a type) having offered up himself a sacrifice upon the cross, that his blood might be indeed the blood of the covenant, sprinkled it upon the altar in his intercession (Heb 9:12,) and sprinkles it upon his church by his word andordinances, and the influences and operations of the Spirit of promise by whom we are sealed.

9:11 An high priest of good things to come - Described, Heb 9:15.Entered through a greater, that is, a more noble, and perfect tabernacle - Namely, his own body. Not of this creation - Not framed by man, as that tabernacle was.

9:12 The holy place - Heaven. For us - All that believe.

9:13 If the ashes of an heifer - Consumed by fire as a sin - offering, being sprinkled on them who were legally unclean. Purified the flesh - Removed that legal uncleanness, and re - admitted them to the temple and the congregation. Num 19:17-19.

9:14 How much more shall the blood of Christ. - The merit of all his sufferings. Who through the eternal Spirit - The work of redemption being the work of the whole Trinity.Neither is the Second Person alone concerned even in the amazing condescension that was needful to complete it.The Father delivers up the kingdom to the Son; and the Holy Ghost becomes the gift of the Messiah, being, as it were, sent according to his good pleasure. Offered himself - Infinitely more precious than any created victim, andthat without spot to God. Purge our conscience - Our inmost soul. From dead works - From all the inward and outward works of the devil, which spring from spiritual death in the soul, and lead to death everlasting. To serve the living God - In the life of faith, in perfect love and spotless holiness.

9:15 And for this end he is the Mediator of a new covenant, that they who are called - To the engagements and benefits thereof. Might receive the eternal inheritance promised to Abraham: not by means of legal sacrifices, but of his meritorious death. For the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first covenant - That is, for the redemption of transgressors from the guilt and punishment of those sins which were committed in the time of the old covenant. The article of his death properly divides the old covenant from the new.

14:12  Mat 26:17; Luk 22:7.

14:13 Go into the city, and there shall meet you a man - It was highly seasonable for our Lord to give them this additional proof both of his knowing all things, and of his influence over the minds of men.

14:15 Furnished - The word properly means, spread with carpets.
