A commendation of the new covenant. to a trumpet blast The trumpet blast here refers to the sound that accompanied the giving of the Law at Mount Sinai, as described in Exodus 19:16-19. In the ancient Near Eastern context, trumpets were often used to signal important events or divine appearances. The trumpet blast at Sinai signified the presence of God and the seriousness of the covenant being established. This imagery is used to evoke the awe and fear associated with God's holiness and the giving of the Law. or to a voice that made its hearers beg that no further word be spoken Persons / Places / Events 1. Mount SinaiThe location where God gave the Ten Commandments to Moses. It is a place of divine revelation and awe, representing the old covenant. 2. Moses The leader of the Israelites who received the Law from God on Mount Sinai. He acted as a mediator between God and the people. 3. Israelites The people of God who were present at Mount Sinai. They experienced fear and trembling at the awesome display of God's power. 4. God's Voice The powerful and overwhelming voice of God that spoke from Mount Sinai, causing fear among the Israelites. 5. Trumpet Blast A supernatural sound that accompanied God's presence on Mount Sinai, symbolizing divine authority and majesty. Teaching Points The Fear of the LordThe Israelites' reaction to God's voice at Sinai reminds us of the reverence and awe due to God. We should approach Him with humility and respect. The Role of Mediators Just as Moses acted as a mediator for the Israelites, Jesus is our mediator under the new covenant. We can approach God with confidence through Christ. The Power of God's Word God's voice is powerful and transformative. We should listen attentively to His Word and allow it to guide our lives. The Transition from Old to New Covenant The contrast between the fear at Sinai and the grace available through Christ highlights the superiority of the new covenant. We are invited to draw near to God through Jesus. Responding to God's Revelation Like the Israelites, we may feel overwhelmed by God's holiness. However, through Christ, we are encouraged to embrace His revelation and live in obedience.(19) See Exodus 19:19 ("the voice of the trumpet"), Deuteronomy 4:12 ("the voice of the words"). Intreated.--"If we hear the voice of the Lord our God any more, then we shall die" (Deuteronomy 5:25; Exodus 20:19). Though God drew near to Israel, to reveal Himself, so terrible was His voice to them, so awful the penalties which fenced round their approach to Him, that they shrank back from hearing His words. Verses 19-21. - And the sound of a trumpet (Exodus 19:16), and the voice of words (Deuteronomy 4:12); which voice they that heard entreated that no word should be spoken to them more (Deuteronomy 18:16; cf. ver. 25 and Exodus 20:18): for they could not endure that which was commanded (rather, enjoined), If even a beast touch the mountain, it shall be stoned (Exodus 19:13; "or thrust through with a dart" is an interpolation in the text from the passage in Exodus): and so terrible was the sight, that Moses said, I exceedingly fear and quake (Deuteronomy 9:19, ἔκφοβός εἰμι, to which ἔντρομος is added in the text. This saying of Moses was really uttered afterwards, when he was descending from the mount, and became aware of the sin of the golden calf. It was called forth by the people's sin, but was due to the alarming character of the preceding phenomena, of τὸ φανταζόμενον, that which was being revealed or manifested. Mention of it is added here to show that the general fear extended even to Moses, the mediator). This whole account, thus powerfully condensed from Exodus and Deuteronomy, presents a vivid picture of the terrors of the Mosaic revelation. God was, indeed, revealed to man, but still as unseen and unapproachable, terrible in his wrath against sin, and surrounded by sounds and sights of fear. But now mark the serene and glorious contrast.Parallel Commentaries ... Greek to a trumpetσάλπιγγος (salpingos) Noun - Genitive Feminine Singular Strong's 4536: A trumpet, the sound of a trumpet.
