Moses prevails with God, and desires to see his glory Then the LORD said to Moses This phrase marks a direct communication from God to Moses, emphasizing the unique relationship between them. The Hebrew word for "LORD" here is "Yahweh," the covenant name of God, which signifies His eternal, self-existent nature. This divine name underscores God's faithfulness and His role as the covenant-keeping God of Israel. The use of "said" indicates a command or instruction, highlighting the authoritative nature of God's communication. Moses, as the leader and mediator, is the recipient of God's guidance, reflecting his pivotal role in the unfolding narrative of Israel's journey. Leave this place you and the people you brought up out of the land of Egypt Go up to the land I promised on oath to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob saying, ‘I will give it to your descendants.’ THE HUMILIATION OF THE PEOPLE AT THE THREAT OF GOD'S WITHDRAWAL. (1-6) If God consented at all to renew His covenant with the people, after they had so flagrantly broken it, the terms on which He would renew it were, in strict justice, purely optional. In the "Book of the Covenant" He had promised to go up with them by an Angel, in whom was His Name (Exodus 23:20-23): i.e., by His Son, the Second Person in the Holy Trinity. He now, to mark His displeasure, withdrew this promise, and substituted for the Divine presence that of a mere angel. "I will send an angel before thee" (Exodus 33:2); "I will not go up in the midst of thee" (Exodus 33:3). Dimly the people felt the importance of the change, the vast difference between the angelic and the Divine, and "mourned" their loss (Exodus 33:4). mourned with some touch of real godly sorrow, and, as was the custom of the Orientals in mourning (Terent. Heaut. ii. 3, 47; Herodian. iv. 2, &c.), "put off their ornaments." (1) The Lord said unto Moses.--In continuation and explanation of the words recorded in Exodus 32:33-34, but probably at another time, after Moses had once more descended from the Ras Sufsafeh to the plain at its base. . . . Verses 1-6. - THE THREAT OF GOD'S WITHDRAWAL, AND THE HUMILIATION OF THE PEOPLE. The intercession of Moses, and his offer to sacrifice himself for his people had obtained from God some great concessions, viz. -1. That the people's lives should be spared (Exodus 32:14); 2. And that they should be led into Palestine (ibid. ver. 34) But a change had been introduced into the conditions under which the future journeys were to be made, somewhat obscurely indicated in the words - "Behold, mine angel shall go before thee" (ibid.) - which was now to be more distinctly set forth. "God's angel" may mean his Presence in the Person of his Son - as it appears to mean in Exodus 23:20-23 - or it may mean simply one of the created angelic host, which seems to be its sense in Exodus 32:34, and in ver. 2 of this chapter. By vers. 2 and 3 taken in combination it was rendered manifest, both to Moses and to the people (ver. 4), that they were threatened with the loss of God's actual presence and personal protection during the remainder of their wanderings, and would have, instead of it, the mere guidance and help of an angel in the inferior sense of the word. This was felt to be "evil tidings" and the people consequently "mourned" and "stripped themselves of their ornaments" (ver. 6). Real penitence at last entered their hearts, and led to self-abasement. Verse 1. The Lord said unto Moses. In continuation of what he had said in Exodus 32:33, 34, but possibly at another time; and with the object of fully explaining what had been meant in ver. 34.
