This is the third time Moses went up the mountain to meet with God. The first time is in Exodus 19:3-9 - God told him to tell the people that everyone of them had seen what God had done in bringing them out of Egypt and that IF they obey and keep his commands he would be with them. The Israelites responded by saying, "We will do everything he has said."
The second time Moses went up the mountain was in Exodus 19:20 - God tells Moses to go back down and bring Aaron up with him. While Moses is down God speaks to all the people, "I am the LORD your God." He gives them the ten commandments and laws for living. He again told them (Exodus 20:22) "You yourselves have seen"; He again tells them to obey only Him (Exodus 20:23 - do not worship gods in addition to me); and He again says He will bless them. The Israelites say they will listen. (Exodus 20:19) God continues on and gives them laws for living, about injuries, property laws, relationships, fairness, about the Sabbath, and feasts. Then God tells them He will lead them, bless them, and protect them IF they obey. They respond two more times (Exodus 24:3;7) "We will do everything that the Lord has said; we will obey."
Moses goes up the mountain the third time. He is there for six days, covered by the glory of God. On the seventh day the LORD called to Moses. Moses had to wait. He was being obedient to God, and he was in God's presence, but he had to wait. Then God started to reveal the plans in today's reading to him.
