Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Exodus 34:10

Yahweh Confirms That He Is Renewing The Covenant (Exodus 34:10 ). God replies by confirming the covenant and guaranteeing the receipt of the inheritance. He does not need to repeat the ten words. He has already confirmed that they will be written on the new tablets that Moses has brought (Exodus 34:1). Instead He guarantees the fulfilment of the covenant in practical terms by promising the manifestation of His power and that He will do wonders on their behalf. The fact that these marvels are... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Exodus 34:11

The Command to Observe That Covenant Accompanied by a Promise to Drive Out the Canaanites (34:11). Exodus 34:11 “Observe what I command you this day. Behold I will drive out before you the Amorite, and the Canaanite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, and the Hivite and the Jebusite.” Israel are to take care that they observe all that Yahweh has commanded them. This renewal of His promise to drive out the Canaanites is an assurance that their previous failure has been forgiven. But they must... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Exodus 34:12-16

A Warning Against Making Any Covenant With the Canaanites And The Need To Destroy Their Idols Because of the Awful Consequences of Idolatry and Because Yahweh is Named ‘Jealous’ and Is A Jealous God (Exodus 34:12-16 ). Exodus 34:12-14 “Take heed to yourself lest you make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land where you are going, lest it be for a snare among you. But you shall break down their altars, and dash in pieces their pillars, and you will cut down their Asherah images, because... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Exodus 34:17-26

A Covenant Codicil Containing Ten Ritual Requirements Which Will Confirm Their Faithfulness to Their Overlord As Selected from Chapters 20-23 (Exodus 34:17-26 ). In counteracting the temptation to idolatry Yahweh now pronounces what are seemingly ten reminders of what His ritual requirements concerning Himself in the Book of the Covenant (Exodus 20:1 to Exodus 23:33) were. The thought is that temptation is best fought by positive action rather than simply by rejection of the sin. The one who... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Exodus 34:1-35

Exodus 34:1-Hosea : J. The Covenant Words.— After removing Exodus 34:5-1 Samuel : , the sublime account of the revelation of Yahweh’ s nature as “ mercy and truth” in their unity, which follows on Exodus 33:23, the remainder is the sequel of J’ s account of the descent upon Sinai in Exodus 19, and the clauses ( Exodus 34:1; Exodus 34:3) referring to “ the first (tables)” are glosses of the editor who displaced this section ( cf. p. 183). And it may be that originally, as in Deuteronomy... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Exodus 34:10

Behold, I make a covenant, i.e. I do hereby renew my covenant with thy people which they had violated and voided by their sin. But the shortness of the phrase, there being no mention here of any with whom this covenant is made or renewed, and the following words, make it more probable that this covenant is nothing but a solemn promise or engagement that God will do the thing which here follows. And the word covenant is oft used for a mere promise, as Genesis 9:9, &c.; Leviticus 24:8;... read more

Which at first were used by good men for their devotion, as Genesis 21:33; but afterwards being horribly abused to superstition and idolatry, were by God, s command to be destroyed. read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Exodus 34:14

Whose name is Jealous; who hath made himself known by, and glories in that name, The jealous God, who cannot endure any competitor or corrival; whereas the false and puny gods of the heathens were contented with multitudes of partners. So this is properly said to be the name of God, whereby he is known and distinguished from all other gods. read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Exodus 34:15

A covenant, for cohabitation, or to suffer them quietly to live among you, whom you should drive out. Go a whoring, i.e. commit idolatry, which is oft called and compared to spiritual whoredom. See Jeremiah 2:0; Jeremiah 3:0; Ezekiel 16:0. And thou eat of his sacrifice to wit of the parts or remainders of his sacrifice, whereby thou wilt partake with him in an idolatrous worship; because such feasts were a part of the worship offered to the idol, and were accompanied with solemn benedictions... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Exodus 34:17

Nor graven, nor any other, as it plainly appears both from the nature of the things, and from many parallel scriptures; but he mentions molten, because their late idol was of that kind. read more
