With an Eye to the New
It seems clear that we have a different source beginning in verse 12 than that found in 24:1-11, because while Moses and the elders are already on Mount Sinai in verse 11, Moses is bidden to ascend the mountain in verse 12. Nevertheless, the context forms a continuous story. The covenant of God with Israel is "cut" in 24:3-8, followed by the account of what could be called the first Lord's Supper in 24:9-11. Moses and the priests and the elders eat and drink the covenant meal with God himself.
