The people mourn there 7. The tabernacle is removed out of the camp 9. The Lord talks familiarly with Moses 12. Moses prevails with God, and desires to see his glory Moses said to the LORD This phrase introduces a direct communication between Moses and God, highlighting the unique relationship Moses had with the LORD. In Hebrew, the name "Moses" (מֹשֶׁה, Moshe) is significant, as it means "drawn out," reflecting his miraculous rescue from the Nile. This dialogue underscores Moses' role as an intercessor and leader, chosen by God to guide the Israelites. The phrase "said to the LORD" indicates a personal and intimate conversation, emphasizing the privilege Moses had in speaking directly to God, a privilege not afforded to many. Look, You have said to me 'Bring up this people,' but You have not let me know whom You will send with me Yet You have said, 'I know you by name and you have also found favor in My sight.' (12-17) The self-humiliation of the people (Exodus 33:4-6) had appeased God's anger. He was now ready to be entreated. Moses therefore renews his supplications on their behalf, and especially prays for a revocation of the threatened withdrawal of the Divine Presence, and substitution for it of a mere angel. Taking advantage of his privilege to speak to God as friend with friend (Exodus 33:11), he ventures to expostulate, uses familiar terms, and persists until he at last obtains a distinct declaration that his request is granted (Exodus 33:17). (12) Thou hast not let me know whom thou wilt send.--Moses finds the promises of Exodus 32:34; Exodus 33:2 ambiguous. What is meant by "mine angel" and "an angel?" Is it the "Angel" of Exodus 23:20-23, or no? If not, who is it? . . . Verses 12-17. - THE REVOCATION OF THE THREAT OF WITHDRAWAL. After some days' "wrestling with God" in the "tent of meeting," Moses prayed to know definitely what God had determined on. "Show me thy way," he said (ver. 13) - "Whom wilt thou send with me?" To this demand, God made the gracious reply - "My presence shall go with thee, and I will give thee rest" (ver. 14). This was satisfactory, except that it did not distinctly include the conduct of the people - it might be merely a promise to himself. So Moses (vers. 15, 16) requires a more explicit assurance, and, closely associating the people with himself, declares that he will not move a step further, unless God allows the people to find grace in his sight, and consents to "distinguish" them by "going up" with them. Then at length God yields and gives the assurance" I will do this thing also that thou hast spoken" (ver. 17) - i.e. "I will go up visibly with the people and distinguish them." (See the comment on ver. 16.) Verses 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 way - tell me plainly what thou wilt do."Parallel Commentaries ...
