The Command to Leave Sinai

1 Then the Lord said to Moses, “Depart and go up from here, you aand the people whom you have brought out of the land of Egypt, to the land of which I swore to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, saying, b‘To your descendants I will give it.’  
2 aAnd I will send My Angel before you, band I will drive out the Canaanite and the Amorite and the Hittite and the Perizzite and the Hivite and the Jebusite.  
3 Go up ato a land flowing with milk and honey; for I will not go up in your midst, lest bI consume you on the way, for you are ca stiff-necked people.”  
4 And when the people heard this bad news, athey mourned, band no one put on his ornaments.  
5 For the Lord had said to Moses, “Say to the children of Israel, ‘You are a stiff-necked people. I could come up into your midst in one moment and consume you. Now therefore, take off your1 ornaments, that I may aknow what to do to you.’ ”  
6 So the children of Israel stripped themselves of their ornaments by Mount Horeb.

Exodus

EXODUS, a "going forth," derives its name from its being occupied principally with a relation of the departure of the Israelites from Egypt, and the incidents that immediately preceded as well as followed that memorable migration. Its authorship by Moses is distinctly asserted by himself (Exodus 24:4), as well as by our Lord (Mark 12:26; Luke 20:37). Besides, the thorough knowledge it exhibits of the institutions and usages of the ancient Egyptians and the minute geographical details of the journey to Sinai, establish in the clearest manner the authenticity of this book.
