Exodus 34:22

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Exodus 34:10-26

In response God announced that He would restore the covenant. That is, He would establish the covenant again. Furthermore He would perform miracles never before seen, namely, driving out the Canaanites (Exodus 34:1).To remind the Israelites of their duties in the covenant relationship, God repeated two of the fundamental ordinances (chs. 21-23) that would determine their attitude toward Him.1. They were to make no covenants with the Canaanites but drive them out completely (Exodus 34:11-16).... 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

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Exodus 34:22

(22) The feast of weeks.—Called in Exodus 23:16, “the feast of harvest,” and in the New Testament “the day of Pentecost”—seven weeks after the first day of unleavened bread. (See Note 1 on Exodus 23:16.) The special offering to be made at the feast consisted of “two wave loaves of fine flour, baken with leaven” (Leviticus 23:17), which were “the first-fruits of the wheat harvest.”And the feast of ingathering.—Called also “the feast of tabernacles” (Leviticus 23:34; Deuteronomy 16:13;... read more

Exodus 34:29 Christians that are really the most eminent saints, and therefore have the most excellent experiences,... are astonished at and ashamed of the low degrees of their love and thankfulness, and their little knowledge of God. Moses, when he had been conversing with God in the mount, and his face shone so bright in the eyes of others as to dazzle their eyes, wist not that his face shone.

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Exodus 34:1-35

CHAPTER XXXIV.THE VISION OF GOD.Exodus 34:1-35It was when God had most graciously assured Moses of His affection, that he ventured, in so brief a cry that it is almost a gasp of longing, to ask, "Show me, I pray Thee, Thy glory" (Exodus 33:18).We have seen how nobly this petition and the answer condemn all anthropomorphic misunderstandings of what had already been revealed; and also how it exemplifies the great law, that they who see most of God, know best how much is still unrevealed. The... read more

L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - Exodus 34:1-35

THE SECOND GIVING OF THE LAW (vs.1-28) Though the first tables of the law had been given to Moses, they never came into the camp. Thus Israel never was under absolute law. This would have meant death for all Israel. But the Lord instructs Moses to cut two more tables of stone and again come up the mountain to meet the Lord who would write the commandments on these stones. Again, however, Moses was to be alone: neither people, herds or flocks were to come near the mountain. When Moses came... read more

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Exodus 34:1-35

THE COVENANT RENEWED MOSES SEPARATED UNTO GOD (Exodus 33:7-11 ) The tabernacle, or tent, here referred to (Exodus 33:7 ), was that of Moses, as the Tabernacle of the Lord had not yet been erected. As the Lord would no longer manifest Himself among the people, it was necessary thus to become separated from them if Moses was to enjoy such intercourse. (Compare 2 Corinthians 6:14-18 .) “The tabernacle of the Congregation” is rendered in the Revised Version, “the tent of meeting,” i.e., the... read more

Morning on the Mount Exo 34:2 God wishes me to be alone with him. How solemn will the meeting be! Father and child; Sovereign and subject; Creator and creature! The distance between us will be infinite, unless he shorten it by his mercy! Oh, my poor broken and weary heart, think of it and be glad; God wants thee to meet him alone! He will heal thy wounds; he will shed his light upon thy tears, and make them shine like jewels; he will make thee young again. Oh that I might be on the mountain... read more
