In Exodus 24 God says to Moses, "Come up on the mountain and stay here". Some Rabbi's will point out that "to stay" means literally "to be". So God is telling Moses to come up on top of the mountain and be on top of the mountain?
Sounds a little redundant doesn't it?
But God understands that Moses will spend all sorts of energy getting up the mountain, and then once he actually gets up there it is likely that he will immediately start planning how he is going to down. And if he does that then he will never fully be on top of the mountain.
Then he just might miss it.
