Exegesis

The second clause features vayya‘al {וַיַּ֥עַל | wāy·ya·‘ăl} ‘and he went up’, which reintroduces Moses, followed by the locative expression el haḥar hā’elohim {אֶל־הַ֥ר הָאֱלֹהִֽים | ’el ha·ḥar hā·’ĕ·lō·hîm} ‘to the mountain of God’, a construct chain marking possession. The English renderings preserve the parallel structure and repeat “Moses” to mirror the Hebrew emphasis while maintaining the link between “mountain” and “God” to underscore the presence of the divine.

In context — Exodus 24:13

And Moses arose with Joshua his attendant, and he went up to the mountain of God .
