24:4 And Moses wrote all the words of the LORD, and rose up early in the morning, and builded an altar under the hill, and twelve pillars, according to the twelve tribes of Israel.

“builded”

Cf. Ex 33:7–11. This arrangement for worship was temporarily called the "tabernacle."

24:11 And upon the nobles of the children of Israel he laid not his hand: also they saw God, and did eat and drink.

“eat and drink”

Symbol of communion. Cf. Luke 22:15–18. A blood-sprinkled people, see Heb 9:19–22 who had not yet broken the law could thus commune with God. Never again was this repeated. Cf. Ex 24:9–11 with Lev 16:2 and Heb 9:6–8 But cf., under grace,; Eph 2:13; Heb 10:19; Heb 10:20.
