So Moses went down
The phrase "So Moses went down" signifies a transition from the divine to the human realm. Moses, who had been in the presence of God on Mount Sinai, descends to the people. The Hebrew root for "went down" is "יָרַד" (yarad), which often implies a movement from a higher to a lower place, both physically and spiritually. This descent is symbolic of Moses acting as a mediator between God and the Israelites, a role that prefigures Christ as the ultimate mediator. Historically, this descent underscores the importance of leadership that bridges the divine and the earthly, emphasizing humility and service.

to the people
The term "the people" refers to the Israelites, God's chosen nation. In Hebrew, "הָעָם" (ha'am) is used, which denotes a collective group bound by covenant with God. This phrase highlights the communal aspect of the Israelites' relationship with God, emphasizing that the covenant and the law were given to a community, not just individuals. Archaeologically, the identity of the Israelites as a distinct people group is supported by various findings, such as the Merneptah Stele, which mentions Israel in the context of ancient Near Eastern history.

and spoke to them
The act of speaking, "וַיְדַבֵּר" (vayedaber), is significant in the biblical narrative. It is through speech that God created the world, and it is through speech that His commandments are communicated. Moses speaking to the people signifies the transmission of divine law and instruction. This phrase underscores the importance of communication in leadership and the necessity of conveying God's word accurately and faithfully. Scripturally, it reflects the prophetic role of Moses, who not only receives God's word but also ensures that it is understood and implemented by the people.

Verse 25. - So Moses went down. After the sharp rebuke addressed to him in ver. 24, Moses made no further resistance, but returned to the camp, delivered the warning to priests and people, and having so done re-ascended the mount with Aaron.
