Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Exodus 32:26

Exodus 32:26. Moses stood in the gate of the camp The place of judgment; and said, Who is on the Lord’s side? Who abhors this idolatry, and adheres to the true worship of God? The Chaldee interprets it, Who feareth the Lord; let him come to me Let him take God’s part, and plead his cause against idolatry and idolaters. They had set up the golden calf for their standard, and Moses sets up his in opposition to them. The sons of Levi gathered themselves together to him This shows... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Exodus 32:27

Exodus 32:27. Thus saith the Lord God of Israel What Moses now did was not done merely in the heat of a pious zeal, but by a divine influence and direction; and therefore can be no warrant to others to imitate his example, who cannot pretend to the same authority, and who are placed in circumstances entirely different from those in which he and the Israelites were placed. Slay every man his brother, and every man his companion Moses being, under God, their chief ruler, at God’s command,... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Exodus 32:1-35

32:1-34:35 COVENANT BROKEN AND RENEWEDThe golden bull (32:1-35)Although they were God’s people and had been delivered by his mighty power from slavery in Egypt, the Israelites were still very much Egyptian in their feelings, thinking and habits. They made an animal idol as a visible symbol of their unseen God, then developed a ritual to go with it, complete with priest, altar, sacrifices and feasting. And, as often happened with the pagan religions, drunkenness and immoral sex-play accompanied... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Exodus 32:25-29

FAITHFULNESS OF THE LEVITES"And when Moses saw that the people were broken loose (for Aaron had let them loose for a derision among their enemies), then Moses stood in the gate of the camp, and said, Whoso is on Jehovah's side, let him come unto me. And all the sons of Levi gathered themselves unto him. And he said unto them, Thus saith Jehovah, the God of Israel, Put ye every man his sword upon his thigh, and go to and fro from gate to gate throughout the camp, and slay every man his brother,... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Exodus 32:25

Exodus 32:25. When Moses saw, &c.— Some expositors understand by this passage, not only their being divested of their virtue and piety, which was their ornament and defence, but also their being unarmed, dispersed up and down the plain at their sports; nay, and even guilty of acts of abominable conduct in the midst of their idolatrous mirth. But if this had been implied, one should have conceived, that the same word would have been used here as in Gen 3:7 where Adam's loss of his original... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Exodus 32:26

Exodus 32:26. Who is on the Lord's side?— See 2 Kings 9:32. The Chaldee renders this, who feareth the Lord, let him come to me: that is, whosoever abhorreth this idolatry, and is zealous for the honour of Jehovah: accordingly, all the sons of Levi joined themselves to him; an expression, which, as appears from the context, must mean, all those of the sons of Levi who had not joined in this defection. To them Moses, as, under God, their chief ruler, commits the execution of that dreadful... read more
