Commentary on Exodus 34:3
The prohibition extends beyond humans to include flocks and herds—absolute solitude is required. Even throughout the mountain, nothing may approach. This underscores God's transcendent holiness and the danger of presumptuous approach to His presence. The severe restriction demonstrates that covenant renewal, like covenant-making, requires divine initiative and proper mediation.
