Wesley: Exo 19:8 - -- Thus accepting the Lord to be to them a God, and giving up themselves to be to him a people.

Thus accepting the Lord to be to them a God, and giving up themselves to be to him a people.

JFB: Exo 19:7-8 - -- The message was conveyed to the mighty multitude through their elders, who, doubtless, instructed them in the conditions required. Their unanimous acc...

The message was conveyed to the mighty multitude through their elders, who, doubtless, instructed them in the conditions required. Their unanimous acceptance was conveyed through the same channel to Moses, and by him reported to the Lord. Ah! how much self-confidence did their language betray! How little did they know what spirit they were of!

Clarke: Exo 19:8 - -- And all the people answered, etc. - The people, having such gracious advantages laid before them, most cheerfully consented to take God for their po...

And all the people answered, etc. - The people, having such gracious advantages laid before them, most cheerfully consented to take God for their portion; as he had graciously promised to take them for his people. Thus a covenant was made, the parties being mutually bound to each other

Clarke: Exo 19:8 - -- Moses returned the words - When the people had on their part consented to the covenant, Moses appears to have gone immediately up to the mountain an...

Moses returned the words - When the people had on their part consented to the covenant, Moses appears to have gone immediately up to the mountain and related to God the success of his mission; for he was now on the mount, as appears from Exo 19:14.

Calvin: Exo 19:8 - -- 8.And all the people answered We shall see in its proper place why God employed Moses as a messenger to carry backwards and forwards the commands and...

8.And all the people answered We shall see in its proper place why God employed Moses as a messenger to carry backwards and forwards the commands and replies; now he merely relates what all the people answered, viz., that they would be obedient in all things. It was not a part, but the whole of the people who promised this, and the reply was unreserved, declaring that they would do whatsoever God required. Yet soon after they relapsed into their natural mind, and kept not their promise even in the smallest degree. Still we may believe that they spoke without dissembling; but that, although without any intention of deceiving God, they were carried away by a kind of headlong zeal, and deceived themselves. Nor was it the object of Moses to tell them in reproach that they had lied to God, or deceitfully boasted with their lips what they did not feel in their hearts; but, by stating how ready they were to obey, he deprives them hereafter of all pretense of ignorance. Nor is there any doubt that God inclined their minds to this docility, in order to establish the doctrine of His law. Meanwhile, let us learn from their example, that we must not merely obey God’s word by some earnest impulse; and that a hasty feeling is of no use, unless it be followed by constant perseverance; and, therefore, let us learn to sift; ourselves well, lest: we rashly promise, without serious self-examination, more, than we are able to perform. Yet we must not forget what. I have already said, that they were all made willing by the secret inspiration of God, in order that they might be witnesses both to themselves and others of the many signs, by which the truth and faithfulness of the 212 heavenly doctrine was then confirmed.

Defender: Exo 19:8 - -- Moses, as the mediator between God and His people, is here a distinct type of the Lord Jesus Christ (1Ti 2:5). Note that the people promised, both bef...

Moses, as the mediator between God and His people, is here a distinct type of the Lord Jesus Christ (1Ti 2:5). Note that the people promised, both before and after the giving of the law (Exo 24:3), to do everything the Lord commanded."

And all the people answered together,.... By their heads and representatives, the elders, summoned before Moses, to whom he declared the whole will of God; or this being communicated by them to their respective tribes and families, they were all of one mind; there was not a contradicting voice among them, they all gave the same answer, or all united in returning for answer what follows:

all that the Lord hath spoken we will do; obey his voice in all things he directs unto, or commands to be done, and keep the covenant he should make with them, and observe whatever was required on their parts; which was well spoken, if with the heart, and if, under a consciousness of their own weakness, they had expressed their desire of dependence upon the grace of God to enable them to perform, see Deu 5:28. The Septuagint version adds, "and we will hear", or be obedient, as in Exo 24:7,

and Moses returned the words of the people unto the Lord; not for his information, who knew very well what they had said, but for the discharge of his office as a mediator and messenger between God and them: this, according to Jarchi, was on the third day of the month.
