Êxodo 33:12, Êxodo 33:18 NVIPT

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Exodus 33:12-23

Moses, having returned to the door of the tabernacle, becomes a humble and importunate supplicant there for two very great favours, and as a prince he has power with God, and prevails for both: herein he was a type of Christ the great intercessor, whom the Father heareth always. I. He is very earnest with God for a grant of his presence with Israel in the rest of their march to Canaan, notwithstanding their provocations. The people had by their sin deserved the wrath of God, and for the... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Exodus 33:12

And Moses said unto the Lord ,.... Having returned from the camp to the tabernacle again: see, thou sayest unto me, bring up this people : from hence to the land of Canaan, as in Exodus 33:1 . and thou hast not let me know whom thou wilt send with me ; to guide and direct him, help and assist him, protect and defend him, and the people with him; he had signified something of this kind, but by some expressions, and by his present conduct, he was at a loss to know who was to go with... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Exodus 33:12

Moses said unto the Lord - We may suppose that after Moses had quitted the tabernacle he went to the camp, and gave the people some general information relative to the conversation he lately had with the Lord; after which he returned to the tabernacle or tent, and began to plead with God, as we find in this and the following verses. Thou hast not let me know, etc. - As God had said he would not go up with this people, Moses wished to know whom he would send with him, as he had only said,... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Exodus 33:12

Verse 12 12.See, thou, sayest unto me, Bring up this people Moses is still diligently engaged in endeavoring to reconcile the people, for the fuller promise was inserted by way of anticipation. Since the revolt, however, God had promised no more than that He would give the land to the people; but although wishing only to assure them that they should possess the land, He had added that His angel should lead them, still this was but a temporary blessing, and one which He is wont to confer... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Exodus 33:1-12

A nation in garb of penitence. On this section consider— I. THE CONDITIONED PROMISE ( Exodus 33:1-4 ). God has consented to spare the nation. They are to set out forthwith on the journey to Canaan. But his presence is no longer to go with them. He would send an angel. Notice— 1 . Everything, in one sense, remains the same . The people are to be conducted to Canaan. They are to inherit the promises. God will drive out their enemies before them. The land will still flow... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Exodus 33:12-13

See, thou sayest . Moses takes advantage of his privilege of speaking as friend with friend, and uses familiar terms—"See," he says, "thou hast told me to conduct the people to Canaan, yet thou hast not made it clear whom thou wilt send with me. If it is to be an angel, what angel? Why not the angel of the original promise ( Exodus 23:20-23 )? Thou hast distinguished me with thy favour— Consider that this nation is thy people , and extend thy favour to them. At any rate shew me thy... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Exodus 33:12-17

Effectual importunity. Our Lord Jesus Christ spake a parable to show "that men ought always to pray and not to faint" ( Luke 18:1 ). The present record is, we may be sure, inserted in the Old Testament for the same purpose. God wills to be importuned. Not, however, for his own sake, but for ours. He would have us fervent and persistent in prayer, for the improvement of our characters, the increase of our faith by exercise, the intensifying of our sense of dependence upon him. Especially... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Exodus 33:12-18

The third intercession . Moses on this occasion pleads with God to restore his presence to the people. Very noteworthy are the steps in his entreaty. 1 . He veils his request under the form of a desire to know the divine intentions ( Exodus 33:12 ). Will God go up with them or not? God has not yet told him—will he tell him now? What, underneath this form of expression, the heart of Moses really presses for, is, of course, the assurance that God will go with them. 2 . He urges the... read more

Intercession and its reward. I. THE INTERCESSOR 'S POWER . 1 . God, who had disowned Israel, and refused to go with them, consents to go with him:—"My presence shall go with thee , and I will give thee rest." The first step in successful intercession for others is the receiving of power to serve God among them. This is the dropping which foretells the shower. 2 . God is brought back by persistent asking into the midst of Israel:—" I will do this thing also that thou... read more
