When Moses was called to the top of the mountain, It was Gods way of saying climb the mountain and be on top of the mountain. So often we can be on the mountain but inside we can be somewhere else. He was saying to Moses Leave your worries and concerns at the bottom of the mountain and be with Me...don't even think about how to get down... just be on top of the mountain!

Moses made more than 2 trips upon Mount Sinai. In Exodus chapter 19, Moses go up the mountain talks with God, returns to the people, then returns to the mountain. Chapter 20 the Ten Commandments are given, Moses goes down to the people in chapter 32 and finds the Golden Calf, breaks the tablets. To really get the full story you need to read Exodus chapter 19 through chapter 34. These contain God /Moses conversations.
