Êxodo 34:6, Êxodo 34:7 NVIPT

The Pulpit Commentary - Exodus 34:6-7

God is love. A previous revelation, cf. Exodus 3:14 . Then the emphasis was on the name , now it is on the character of him who bears the name. Moses, in common with the people, longed after some visible manifestation of the glory of the unseen God who spoke to him ( Exodus 33:18 ). His desire is granted; but at the same time God turns his thoughts from the visible to the invisible. "It is not," he seems to say, "what I appear to be that man has to trust to; it is what I am."... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Exodus 34:6-7

This was the second revelation of the name of the God of Israel to Moses. The first revelation was of Yahweh as the self-existent One, who purposed to deliver His people with a mighty hand Exodus 3:14; this was of the same Yahweh as a loving Saviour who was now forgiving their sins. The two ideas that mark these revelations are found combined, apart from their historical development, in the second commandment, where the divine unity is shown on its practical side, in its relation to human... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Exodus 34:6-7

Exodus 34:6-7. And the Lord passed by before him Fixed views of God are reserved for the future state; the best we have in this world are transient. And proclaimed the name of the Lord By which he would make himself known. He had made himself known to Moses, in the glory of his self- existence and self-sufficiency, when he proclaimed that name, I am that I am; now he makes himself known in the glory of his grace and goodness, and all-sufficiency to us. The proclaiming of it denotes... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Exodus 34:1-35

The covenant re-established (34:1-35)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. God in his grace would renew the covenant, and to this end he called Moses back up the mountain. His fresh revelation to Moses therefore emphasized his love and mercy, but it also reminded the people of his righteous justice. Moses, painfully aware of the Israelites’ weakness, appealed to the grace of... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Exodus 34:5-8

"And Jehovah descended in the cloud, and stood with him there, and proclaimed the name of Jehovah. And Jehovah passed by before him, and proclaimed, Jehovah, Jehovah, a God merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abundant in loving kindness and truth; keeping lovingkindness 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, and the children's children, upon the third and upon the... read more

Exodus 34:5-6. Proclaimed the name of the Lord— Moses desired to see the glory of the Lord, ch. Exodus 33:18. The Lord promises to shew him his goodness; and, accordingly, he passes by before him, proclaiming his Name, the Deliverer and Covenant-God of the Hebrews; and also his attributes, at once of mercy and of terror; those attributes which were displayed in their most glorious light in the redemption of the world by the death of JESUS CHRIST: God thus shewing himself merciful, that is,... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Exodus 34:1-9

The text does not record what Moses saw of God’s self-revelation (Exodus 33:18), but it does tell us what he heard. Moses stressed the mercy of God in this exposition of God’s name, Yahweh (cf. Exodus 29:5-6)."There is nothing more terrible than the way in which sin clings to a man and dogs his footsteps. Let a man once steal, and he is never trusted again, even though he has made reparation for it. Men look at their fallen brothers through their sin; but God looks at man through the idealised... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Exodus 34:1-35

The Renewal of the CovenantIn token that the people are forgiven, God renews His covenant relation with them. The conditions are the same as before. The Decalogue is inscribed on two fresh tables, and the main provisions of the ceremonial law are repeated.1. Which thou brakest] There is no reproach in these words. Moses is nowhere blamed for his righteous indignation. He was ’angry and sinned not.’ 3. See on Exodus 19:12, Exodus 19:13.5. See on Exodus 33:19. On the name of The Lord see on... read more
