He was there forty days and forty nights; as he had been before, being now to renew the broken covenant. This forty days fast of his is mentioned four times, Exodus 24:18, and here, and Deuteronomy 9:18, Deuteronomy 10:10, but it is evident it was performed but twice, as the occasion of it happened only twice. He wrote, not Moses, but the Lord, as appears from Exodus 24:1, and from Deu 10, the relative pronoun being here referred to the remoter antecedent, of which there are many instances, as Genesis 10:12 1 Samuel 21:14, 1 Samuel 27:8 Psalms 99:6.
