      into the top of the mountain, saying, Lo, we [be here],
      and will go up unto the place which the LORD hath

      (q) They confessed their sin in rebelling against God, but
          did not consider their offence in going up without
          God's commandment.

14:44 But they {r} presumed to go up unto the hill top:
      nevertheless the ark of the covenant of the LORD, and
      Moses, departed not out of the camp.
