The people perceived (which means they were made aware of ) Gods commands but did not want to respond directly with God. Could it be they did not have the faith to give themselves over to God individually and would rather have someone else(Moses) be responsible to lead them? We are each responsible to follow our Lord and respond. No one else can do that for us. When we see that God is our only source of help in a physical world, we than begin to understand Grace and the power of forgiveness! Therefore, we can not even begin to forgive with out the grace of God!

Down translates halak or way to walk. God is asking Moses to go up the mountain and down. Moses understands his relationship with God which is to walk in his ways and relate to him. Hear and respond. Lord help me to hear your voice and respond. Exodus 19:25 is a very powerful example of walking with our Lord! God always calls us to him and boundaries are needed to protect us from our own desires and distractions of the world. Boundaries from God appear restrictive but in all reality it's providing freedom from being slaves to this world!
