Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Exodus 24:11

_ _ upon the nobles of the children of Israel he laid not his hand — The “nobles,” that is, the elders, after the sprinkling of the blood, were not inspired with terror in presence of the calm, benign, radiant symbol of the divine majesty; so different from the terrific exhibitions at the giving of the law. The report of so many competent witnesses would tend to confirm the people’s faith in the divine mission of Moses.

_ _ eat and drink — feasted on the peace offering — on the remnants of the late sacrifices and libations. This feast had a prophetic bearing, intimating God’s dwelling with men.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Exodus 24:9-11.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Exodus 24:11

Upon the nobles or elders of Israel he laid not his hand — Though they were men, the splendour of his glory did not overwhelm them, but it was so moderated (Job 36:9,) and they were so strengthened (Daniel 10:19,) that they were able to bear it: nay, though they were sinful men, and obnoxious to God's justice, yet he did not lay his avenging hand upon them, as they feared he would. When we consider what a consuming fire God is, and what stubble we are before him, we shall have reason to say, in all our approaches to him, It is of the Lord's mercies we are not consumed. They saw God, and did eat and drink; They had not only their lives preserved, but their vigour, courage, and comfort; it cast no damp upon their joy, but rather increased it. They feasted upon the sacrifice before God, in token of their chearful consent to the covenant, their grateful acceptance of the benefits of it, and their communion with God in pursuance of that covenant.
