Exodus 24:4 - Exposition

Moses wrote all the words of the Lord . We may presume that they were miraculously brought to his remembrance by that Spirit of Truth which guided all the Prophets ( 2 Peter 1:21 ; John 14:26 ). Having written the words, he waited till the next day, and then rose up early and builded an altar , in preparation for the sacrifice without which no covenant was regarded as binding. And twelve pillars . Symbolical of the twelve tribes. Compare Joshua 4:3 , Joshua 4:9 , Joshua 4:20 .
