The Call to "Be There"
Commentators emphasize that God's command to Moses was not just to "come up" but to "be there," indicating a prolonged and intimate stay in the divine presence. This wasn't a quick transaction but an extended period of communion, necessary for receiving the detailed plans for Israel's life and worship. This highlights God's desire for a deep, abiding relationship with His chosen leader.
