Exodus 34:5 - Jamieson, Fausset, and Brown Book Notes

Exodus 34:5

3 And no man shall ^acome up with you, and let no man be seen throughout all the mountain; let neither flocks nor herds feed before that mountain.”

4 So he cut two tablets of stone like the first ones. Then Moses rose early in the morning and went up Mount Sinai, as the Lord had commanded him; and he took in his hand the two tablets of stone.

5 Now the Lord descended in the ^acloud and stood with him there, and ^bproclaimed the name of the Lord.

6 And the Lord passed before him and proclaimed, “The Lord, the Lord ^aGod, merciful and gracious, longsuffering, and abounding in ^bgoodness and ^ctruth,

7 ^akeeping mercy for thousands, ^bforgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, ^cby no means clearing the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children and the children’s children to the third and the fourth generation.”

Jamieson, Fausset, and Brown Book Notes

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.
