Exodus 24:13 - Exposition

Moses went up . Prompt to obey, Moses, though he had only just descended from the mount, immediately made ready to set forth and again ascend it. This time he was attended by his minister, Joshua , whose arm he had employed on a former occasion against the Amalekites ( Exodus 17:9-13 ). The name, Joshua, is, however, still given him by anticipation, since he did not receive it until he was sent by Moses to explore the land of Canaan ( Numbers 13:8 , Numbers 13:16 ).
