EXODUS—NOTE ON Exodus 24:17 like a devouring fire. God’s presence is often signified by fire (see also Exodus 3:2; Exodus 13:21; Exodus 19:18; Exodus 40:38; compare Deuteronomy 9:3). Moses is able to enter the cloud of God’s presence; he is the one with whom God has chosen to meet and therefore he will not be destroyed (see Exodus 24:9).
