King James Bible
"So Moses went down unto the people, and spake unto them."
Moses descends from Mount Sinai where he has been receiving divine instructions about the covenant preparations. This physical descent represents his mediatorial role between God on the mountain and Israel encamped below, a pattern that characterizes his leadership throughout Exodus. Though the specific content is not recorded here, Moses relays God's commands about consecration and boundaries around the mountain. This brief statement concludes the chapter by emphasizing Moses' faithful transmission of divine words, setting the stage for the dramatic theophany and giving of the Ten Commandments in chapter 20.
