Commentary on Exodus 32:17
Joshua, who had waited below the cloud's glory zone (Ex 24:13), heard קוֹל הָעָם בְּרֵעֹה (qol ha'am bere'oh, the sound of the people in their shouting) and misidentified it as military combat. His use of מִלְחָמָה (milchamah, war) shows he expected external enemies. Moses' response will correct this—the danger was internal apostasy, more deadly than any military threat. Joshua's loyal presence contrasts with Aaron's compromise; he remained close to God's presence rather than descending to the people.
