  • Exod.24:1-2 (structural): God/Moses instruct that only Moses (and selected elders) are to ascend while the people must not come up — echoes the command that no one accompany Moses to the mountain.

Parallels

  • Exod.24:18 (verbal): Moses on Sinai 'forty days and forty nights' — directly parallels the duration Moses stays with the LORD.
  • Deut.9:9 (verbal): Moses' retrospective account: he lay before the LORD forty days and nights and 'neither ate bread nor drank water,' echoing the same fast.
  • Deut.10:10 (structural): A second Deuteronomic recounting of Moses' forty-day fast on the mountain and the writing/renewal of the tablets, paralleling Exodus' sequence of fasting and tablet-writing.
  • Matt.4:2 (thematic): Jesus' forty-day fast in the wilderness alludes to Israelite/prophetic 40-day motifs (notably Moses on Sinai), presenting a typological parallel.
  • Exod.31:18 (allusion): Earlier Exodus account attributes the writing of the stone tablets to God's 'finger'; Exod.34:28 links Moses with writing the covenant words on the tablets, creating a textual tension/connection about authorship of the tablets.
