Exodus 32:31 - Forerunner Commentary

Exodus 32:31

29 ^aThen Moses said,¹ “Consecrate yourselves today to the Lord, that He may bestow on you a blessing this day, for every man has opposed his son and his brother.”

30 Now it came to pass on the next day that Moses said to the people, ^a“You have committed a great sin. So now I will go up to the Lord; ^bperhaps I can ^cmake atonement for your sin.”

31 Then Moses ^areturned to the Lord and said, “Oh, these people have committed a great sin, and have ^bmade for themselves a god of gold!

32 Yet now, if You will forgive their sin—but if not, I pray, ^ablot me ^bout of Your book which You have written.”

33 And the Lord said to Moses, ^a“Whoever has sinned against Me, I will ^bblot him out of My book.

34 Now therefore, go, lead the people to the place of which I have ^aspoken to you. ^bBehold, My Angel shall go before you. Nevertheless, ^cin the day when I visit for punishment, I will ^dvisit punishment upon them for their sin.”

35 So the Lord plagued the people because of ^awhat they did with the calf which Aaron made.

Exodus 32:31-33

It is a strangled cry, a gasping sob welling up in the heart of a man who is asking to be sent to his grave if only it can mean the salvation of the people he had come to love. Moses had such a great love for his people Israel. He had seen the sin of Israel and already they had rebelled against God and against him, they had turned their back on his good leadership and would do so again, but still he loved them and wanted to save them just as Judah wanted to save Benjamin.
