exodus 34:5 7 commentary

And perhaps Jeremiah alluded to this passage, where (382) he mitigates the severity of the vengeance of which he had been speaking by this same expression, for there it can only be translated, With cutting off I will not cut thee off. If this be preferred, it will be the assignment of the reason why God pardons sins, viz., because He is unwilling to cut off men, which would be the case if He insisted on the utmost rigor of the Law. With this, people have a great difficulty with God because of His orders to wipe them out, to exterminate them.

We have a nature which answers morally to God whom we imitate as well as obey in light and love, in holy and righteous ways, in mercy, truthfulness, and humility. Perhaps he has not peace at once, but at any rate he is thoroughly arrested; he desires earnestly to know the gospel from the very first. It is the putting the believer into an entirely new place before God, which is a different thought from his receiving a new nature. God himself is the It is remarkable that on this occasion the tabernacle and all within it were anointed with oil.

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. We are children, members of the family of God. It is of no use to decry the plain meaning of the scripture because the Romanist theologian perverts the fact more fatally than the Protestant. God having thus proclaimed his name, Moses says, "It is enough, I expect no more till I come to heaven;" at least he did not think fit to relate what he saw. As far as this figure is concerned, then, our place is represented by Moses when he takes off the vail and is face to face with the glory of God Himself. 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. He visits the iniquity of the fathers upon the children. Therefore, according to the usual phrase of Scripture, the sacred name of God is applied to the visible symbol; not that the empty cloud was a figure of the absent Deity, but because it testified His presence according to the comprehension of men. Thus he avails himself of the special affection God had shown him to put himself with the people, and to secure God's presence going with the people, who otherwise could never enter the land. 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. The Lord God is before him, and proclaimed, The Lord, The Lord God, merciful and gracious, longsuffering, abundant in goodness and truth, Keeping mercy for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, and that will by no means clear the guilty; visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, upon the children's children, unto the third and to the fourth generation ( Exodus 34:1-7 ). (Exodus 27:1-21) Not less than the ark, the golden throne of God in the most holy place, it shows us God's righteousness; but with this difference between them that gold is the righteousness of God for drawing near where God is; brass is the righteousness of God for dealing with man's evil where man is. Moses' worship and prayer (Exodus EXODUS 34:1 J. He prized you so highly that He sent His Son to die for your sins so that He could have you for His own. (379) See C.s own translation. II. The Christian position is altogether different: we are elect as children "according to the foreknowledge of God the Father through sanctification of the Spirit," meaning by this the separating power of the Holy Ghost from the very first moment of our conversion. These verses, as Stock says, show that the revelation of God was not merely to the outward sight, but chiefly to the heart and mind of Moses. It is the display of God in both cases the one in the presence of God where He manifests Himself; the other in dealing with man and his wants in this world. Exodus 32:1-35 reveals a sad interruption after the wonderful communications of God to His servant. Then, after the priesthood has been fully brought before us, we have the various portions of their dress.

Even then, being still unable, he declined the task, declaring that the more he thought of God, the less was he able to describe Him.(2.) The seventh year was to be enjoyed as the land's Sabbath, even as the seventh day by each Israelite, who must avoid naming false gods, but keep the due feasts thrice a year to the true God, not offering blood with leavened bread, nor letting the fat remain till the morning A prohibition occurs of a peculiar kind, and is repeated not only in a later part of this book, but also in Deuteronomy: "Thou shalt not seethe a kid in its mother's milk." The new nature accordingly has right affections and gracious desires; but there is power in the Spirit through Christ Jesus. Now we do so know Him. Yet thou hast said, I know thee by name, and thou hast also found grace in my sight." Lest, however, this indulgence should be perverted into a license for sin, it is afterwards added, by way of correction, with (380) cleansing He will not cleanse, which, with the Chaldee interpreter and others, I understand as applying to His severe judgment against the reprobate and obstinate; for I do not like their opinion who say that, although God indeed pardons sins, yet He still moderately chastises those who have sinned; since this is a poor conjecture, that punishment is required though the guilt is remitted; and besides, it is altogether untrue, inasmuch as it is manifest, from experience that God passes over many sins without punishment. In these shadows* we may see two very different characters or classes, we may say, into which they are divisible. Christianity teaches its value instead of neutralising it. Thus, it means thousands of generations! It bespeaks promised goodness, goodness and truth put together, goodness engaged by promise, and his faithfulness pledged for the security of it. It would not be suitable to such a position that there should be undue familiarity. The first, Exodus 3:4, was delivered PROCLAIMED THE NAME OF THE LORD Moses desired to see the _glory_ of All of the firstborn of thy sons thou shalt redeem. But there was another requisite next set forth. Another reason also is because Gods mercy cannot be comprehended, except upon the testimony of His word, the certainty of which must needs be well assured lest our salvation should be wavering and insecure.

Not just-I can't, in my wildest imagination, I cannot imagine a father abusing his own daughter, or even being attracted to his own daughter in a sexual way. True, God is revealed there (Romans 1:20); but the key is wanted to decipher the hieroglyphics, and that key is the Scriptures which are given by inspiration of God.. His descending bespeaks his condescension; he humbles himself to take cognizance of those that humble themselves to walk with him. (381) Should ye be utterly unpunished? Art thou he, that shall altogether go unpunished? A. V. (382) Poole on Jeremiah 49:12, after quoting C.s translation, impune feres? adds, Since, however, this phrase is explained very differently by others, both Exodus 34:7, and Jeremiah 25:29, as well as these words, may be thus rendered: Thou therefore thyself shalt be utterly cut off., (383) The translation of V. is, Nullusque apud to per se innocens est.. 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. This is a branch of God's goodness which the wickedness of sinners gives occasion for; that of Israel had done so: they had tried his patience, and experienced it. WebExodus 34:5-7. Was there not comfort for any heart which confides in God, that He should take such a seat as this, and give it such a name, in relationship with a guilty people on the earth? This is the new division brought in and what might seem at first sight a notable irregularity, as has been observed before, is simply an effect of the perfect arrangement of God's mind. They see actually two Gods, the God of the Old Testament, the God of the New.But in the Old Testament you will find very much concerning the character of God as far as His graciousness, as far as His mercy. After this follow two things worthy of all heed, a nearness of communication between Jehovah and His servant never enjoyed before, and more than that, a blessing secured to the people never vouchsafed before. From this moment a new plea is urged: the faultiness of the people is used as a reason why God should go up the very reason which righteousness made a ground for refusing to go with them, lest His anger should burn against such a stiff-necked people. We may have absolute confidence in the word of God. 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 WebExodus 34:7 says that God [visits] the iniquity of the fathers on the children and the children's children, to the third and the fourth generation. This worries me because So I would be thoroughly justified in killing that dog so that it would not infect the innocent children and destroy them. He will "by no means clear the guilty"; and despite some efforts to distort the meaning of that promise by reading it, "He will not even completely destroy the guilty," no such rendition is honest. So in the Old Testament we have a God of grace and mercy, and longsuffering and forgiveness revealed to us. not go up in the midst of thee; for thou art a stiff-necked people; But if there be two separate objects in these types first, God displaying Himself to man; and, secondly, man in consequence drawing near to God the way of all is clear.

In the beginning ofExodus 21:1-36; Exodus 21:1-36 we find the type of the servant. Nevertheless, here as everywhere God maintains His right to call, and gives the requisite gifts. He besought the Lord again to re-establish His covenant acknowledging the sinfulness of the Israelites with whom he humbly identified.

The children of Israel saw the face of Moses, the skin of Moses' face it was shining: and Moses put the veil upon his face again, until he went to speak with the Lord ( Exodus 34:29-35 ). It is not God who thus deals with humanity, of which Israel was the chosen specimen, and the one remembered before Him; but in the seven candlesticks, or rather the candelabrum with its seven lights, we clearly see the type of Christ as the power and giver of the Holy Ghost in testimony for God.

I grant you that, looking at the Pentecostal saints, in them we see the most powerful united testimony that ever was borne in this world; but it was borne in what was comparatively not the severest trial in earthly things chiefly, the superiority of those who had been newly created in Christ to the wretched selfishness of human nature. This denotes, [1.] 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. The The Exodus is the central event of the Old Our only business is to learn what He is, what He says, and, more than that, to confide in Him; and when we do not know what He means, always to take the ground of faith against all adversaries. Hence therefore, no sooner does God propose to them that they should obey His law as the condition of their blessing at His hands, than they at once accept the terms: "Now therefore, if ye will obey my voice indeed, and keep my covenant, then ye shall be a peculiar treasure unto me above all people: for all the earth is mine."

The people thereon mourn; and Moses has recourse to a remarkable act. The first of the firstfruits of the land ( Exodus 34:24-26 ), Notice, "the first of the firstfruits" is what God demands from you, not the leftovers. The man who met God was unaware of his glory till others told him of it; by contrast, the people who had easily fallen into sin were afraid when they met one who appeared to them as a shining messenger from God (29-35; cf. Pressense says, that whatever opinions men may hold as to the integrity of that primitive witness, all must own that it contains pages in which one beholds, as it were, the reflection of the lustre which caused Mosess face to shine when he held converse with God.
