Exodus 19:24

And the LORD said unto him, Away, get thee down, and thou shalt come up, thou, and Aaron with thee: but let not the priests and the people break through to come up unto the LORD, lest he break forth upon them.

Ver. 24. Away, get thee down.] Abundans cautela non nocet. It is fit that men should know and keep their distance.

Thou, and Aaron with thee.] These only, who were types of Christ's princely and priestly office, might come up unto the Lord.
