Matthew Poole and continuators on Exodus 34:28

28 And he was there with the LORD fourty days and forty nights : he did neither eat bread nor drink water: and he wrote upon the tables the words of the covenants the Ten Commandments.

As he had been before, being now to renew the broken covenant. This forty dayes fast of his is mentioned four times, Exod. 24. 18. and here, and Deut. 9. 18. and 10. 10. but it is evident it was performed but twice, as the occasion of it happened onely twice.

Not Moses, but the Lord, as appears from verse 1. and from Deut. 10 the relative pronoun being here referred to the remoter antecedent, of which there are many instances, as Gen. 10. 12. 1 Sam. 21. 14. and 27. 8. Psal. 99. 6.
