But there was another requisite next set forth. When the people first swore their faithfulness to the covenant, they promised to keep all its requirements (see 24:3-8), but in practice they failed badly.

And the Lord passed by before him and proclaimed.. But the fact that the shine was fading away from his face, was indicating the fact that the law that God was given was to fade away when God established the new covenant with man through Jesus Christ. 9 And he said, If now I have found grace in thy sight, O Lord, let my Lord, I pray thee, go among us; for it is a stiffnecked people; and pardon our iniquity and our sin, and take us for thine inheritance.

WebIn this chapter Moses has orders to hew two tables of stone, that God might write on them the ten commands, and bring them up with him to the mount, Ex 34:1-4 where the Lord air above the mount, but came down to the top of it when God spake The former chapter tells us of the majesty of the divine revelation as it was made to Moses on the mount of God. Let us notice that, whatever was the visible pomp What a motive for parents! It consisted of a declaration by God of the truth That is very true; it is impossible if you're only dealing with natural things. In short therefore the children of Israel stood on the ground of man in the flesh; and man in the flesh, as he is a sinful being, can neither deny nor accomplish his obligation to do the will of God. The rest of the book of Exodus consists of the people's response, and the actual accomplishment of the directions that were given inExodus 25:1-40; Exodus 25:1-40; Exodus 26:1-37; Exodus 27:1-21; Exodus 28:1-43; Exodus 29:1-46; Exodus 30:1-38, and calls for no lengthened remarks in such a sketch as this.

The bread that was set on the golden table consisted of twelve loaves in evident correspondence with the twelve tribes of Israel, but this assuredly in connection with Christ, for He is ever the object of God's counsels. Wherefore should the Egyptians speak and say, For mischief did he bring them out, to slay them in the mountains, and to consume them from the face of the earth? The biblical Exodus is central in Judaism. Therefore, they were to keep the Feast of Unleavened Bread and maintain the practice of redeeming their firstborn (18-20; see 12:15-36; 13:1-16). A remarkable provision is that the ephod of the high priest, which was the most important part of his costume, had the names of the children of Israel twice over. It is in no way the glory which is the hope of the Christian. "And Jehovah said unto Moses, I will do this thing also that thou has spoken: for thou hast found grace in my sight, and I know thee by thy name."

The text does not record what Moses saw of Gods self-revelation (Exodus 33:18), but it does tell us what he heard. There the names were all found together on his heart. This is prefixed before the display of his mercy, to teach us to think and to speak even of God's grace and goodness with great seriousness and a holy awe, and to encourage us to depend upon these mercies; they are not the mercies of a man, that is frail and feeble, false and fickle, but the mercies of the Lord, the Lord God; therefore sure mercies, and sovereign mercies, mercies that may be trusted, but not tempted.

Some seem on the very verge of denying it altogether, in their one-sided zeal for the grace of God; others who stand stoutly and so far well for the responsibility of man misuse this truth so as apparently to swamp God's grace. Undoubtedly in itself it composed a worldly tabernacle; but this does not hinder these figures from typifying what was to be for the most part of a heavenly character. The consequence of such a division is indeed lowering in the extreme. What was the meaning of the blood? What follows, that God keeps mercy to a thousand generations, we have expounded in chapter 20; whilst, on the other hand, the punishments which He requires for mens sins are only extended to the third and fourth generation, because His clemency surpasses His judgment, as is said in Psalms 30:5, (379) There is only a moment in his anger, but life in his favor; and although this only relates properly to believers, yet it flows from a general principle. Revelation of Gods Grace. Now, let me ask, what mind of man could ever have thought of a decision so excellent, though surely far below the surface? This That is, it was a prohibition of man's will. Nobody doubts the good intentions of such as interpret it thus; but these are not enough with the word of God. That is, we are children as having God's own nature. The tendency of some to insist on the whole in an instant is a reaction from the popular unbelief, which, if it allow peace at all, allows it as a matter of slow, laborious and uncertain attainment. And hence the Prophets seem to have quoted from this passage, (381) Clearing should ye be cleared? ( Jeremiah 25:29,) when they address the reprobate, to whom pardon is denied. But what I have stated is very suitable, that, lest impunity should beget audaciousness, after God has spoken of His mercy, He adds an exception, viz., that the iniquity is by no means pardoned, which is accompanied by obstinacy. relation with them. To the same effect is the next clause, forgiving iniquity, transgression, and sin; for thus the greatness of His clemency is set forth, inasmuch as He not only pardons light offenses, but the very grossest sins; and again, remits not only sin in one case, but is propitious to sinners by whom He has been a hundred times offended. But the written word of God is the sole instrumental means and the revelation of it all. This is the peculiarity. And be ready in the morning, and come up in the morning unto mount Sinai, and present thyself there to me in the top of the mount. 1. It would make us feel what ought to be done, but gives not of itself the power to do it. He immediately adds, "and by no means clearing the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation." If the true God deigns to give a law to man, it must be an unimpeachably wise and worthy law adapted to the condition of man, as far as a law possibly can be; and such is God's law holy, just, and good. But the difficulty is this, that man being a sinner is as far as possible from ability to meet God's law; for how indeed can there be any real stable bond between a bad man and a good law? Exodus 34:5 For, (1.) He will not always suffer even the pardoned sinner to escape with entire impunity. Exodus 34:1 You can enter into a totally new, beautiful life in Christ, and only He can erase the psychic scars that so damaged some of you from your childhood and the things that you experienced in childhood.

WebMatthew Henry's Commentary on Exodus 34:5-7 Commentary on Exodus 34:5-9 (Read Exodus 34:5-9) The Lord descended by some open token of his presence and manifestation of his glory in a cloud, and thence proclaimed his NAME; that is, the perfections and character which are denoted by the name JEHOVAH. Mercy entailed upon thousands of generations, even those upon whom the ends of the world have come; nay, the line of it is drawn parallel with that of eternity itself. This I maintain to be peculiar to Christianity in all its fulness. The understanding of this comes in the antithesis in the word "generation" at the end of Exodus 34:7. The prime idea in blood seems always to be the life given up, i.e., death, in acknowledgment of the guilt of the one concerned.
