Exodus 32:10
Compare all
8 They have turned aside quickly out of the way which aI commanded them. They have made themselves a molded calf, and worshiped it and sacrificed to it, and said, b‘This is your god, O Israel, that brought you out of the land of Egypt!’ ”  
9 And the Lord said to Moses, a“I have seen this people, and indeed it is a1 stiff-necked people!  
10 Now therefore, alet Me alone, that bMy wrath may burn hot against them and I may1 consume them. And cI will make of you a great nation.”  
11 aThen Moses pleaded with1 the Lord his God, and said: “Lord, why does Your wrath burn hot against Your people whom You have brought out of the land of Egypt with great power and with a mighty hand?  
12 aWhy should the Egyptians speak, and say, ‘He brought them out to harm them, to kill them in the mountains, and to consume them from the face of the earth’? Turn from Your fierce wrath, and brelent from this harm to Your people.  
13 Remember Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, Your servants, to whom You aswore by Your own self, and said to them, b‘I will multiply your descendants as the stars of heaven; and all this land that I have spoken of I give to your descendants, and they shall inherit it forever.’ ”  
14 So the Lord arelented from the harm which He said He would do to His people.

Exodus 32:10

Let me alone - What did Moses, or what could he do, to hinder God from consuming them? When God resolves to abandon a people, and the decree is gone forth, no intercession can prevent it. But God would thus express the greatness of his displeasure, after the manner of men, who would have none to interceed for those they resolve to be severe with. Thus also he would put an honour upon prayer, intimating, that nothing but the intercession of Moses could save them from ruin, that he might be a type of Christ, by whose mediation alone God would reconcile the world unto himself.
