Exodus 34:27 NIV

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Exodus 34:18-27

Here is a repetition of several appointments made before, especially relating to their solemn feasts. When they had made the calf, they proclaimed a feast in honour of it; now, that they might never do so again, they are here charged with the observance of the feasts which God had instituted. Note, Men need not be drawn from their religion by the temptation of mirth, for we serve a Master that has abundantly provided for the joy of his servants: serious godliness is a continual feast, and joy... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Exodus 34:27

And the Lord said unto Moses ,.... Being still with him on the mount: write thou these words ; expressed in the preceding verses, from Exodus 34:11 , as he before had written in a book all those laws, contained in Exodus 21:1 called the book of the covenant, Exodus 24:4 and which perhaps might be destroyed, as well as the two tables were broken; and therefore upon the renewal of the covenant here, there is a repetition made of the principal laws before given, which are ordered also... read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Exodus 34:27

Write thou these words - Either a transcript of the whole law now delivered, or the words included from Exodus 34:11 ; to Exodus 34:26 . God certainly wrote the ten words on both sets of tables. Moses either wrote a transcript of these and the accompanying precepts for the use of the people, or he wrote the precepts themselves in addition to the ten commandments which were written by the finger of God. See Clarke on Exodus 34:1 ; (note). Allowing this mode of interpretation, the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Exodus 34:1-28

Renewal of the tables, and fourth intercession. One more mighty effort of intercession, and Moses will bear away the blessing which he seeks. It needs, however, that it be a mighty one. The covenant is not yet restored in its integrity. The people's sin is not yet perfectly forgiven. God, indeed, has promised to go with them, but he has not said, as of old, " I will take you to me for a people, and I will be to you a God" ( Exodus 6:7 ). The new relations are not those of perfected... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Exodus 34:10-29

Revived obligations. Former instructions are renewed; only, however, so far as relates to the duties of religion. Renewal of the civil code was not required. Subject to this limit, the new book of the covenant ( Exodus 34:27 ) revives, supplements, expands, and endorses the teachings and precepts of the old one. We have in it— I. PROMISE ( Exodus 34:10 , Exodus 34:11 ). God, as on the former occasion ( Exodus 23:23-30 ), pledges himself to drive out all their enemies. The... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Exodus 34:27

Write thou these words . Literally, "write thee these words"— i.e; "write them for thyself and for thy people." According to the tenor of these words have I made a covenant . That is, "the covenant on my part is conditional on the observance of these words on the part of Israel." The "words" intended are those of Exodus 34:10-26 . read more

Albert Barnes

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Exodus 34:12-27

The precepts contained in these verses are, for the most part, identical in substance with some of those which follow the Ten Commandments and are recorded in “the Book of the covenant” (Exo. 20–23; see Exodus 24:7).Exodus 34:13Cut down their groves - This is the first reference to what is commonly known as grove-worship. The original word for “grove” in this connection אשׁרה 'ăshêrāh is different from that so rendered in Genesis 21:33. Our translators supposed that what the law commands is... 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
