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.
Root and etymology
ʾ-l-haleph–lamed–he

In context — Exodus 24:13
