The Book Of Exodus Chapter 24 (18 of 26)

Read vss 1-2
Nadab and Abihu were Aaron's oldest sons. We will see
what happens to them later. Moses, the two sons of
Aaron, Aaron and 70 of the leaders were instructed to
come up to the Lord, but to worship afar off. Only
Moses was allowed to come up to the top of the
mountain.

After Moses instructed the people of all the words of
the Lord, the people answered with one shout, all of

written, and ratified again.

offered up as to why this was done. It is the only
time in scripture that this is done. The sprinkling of
blood was a dedication of the covenant between the
people and God. In the book of Hebrews the writer also
uses this experience to show that the New Covenant was
not ratified without blood. I believe that this is the
simple explanation here in Exodus. The people again

this time they add, and be obedient. These people are
not even close to being ready to obey God.
Words are cheap and many of us make them with gusto as

and that's where the reality of what we intend to do
comes from. For many of us, our hearts are not right
