Exodus 34:6 - Forerunner Commentary

Exodus 34:6

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.”

8 So Moses made haste and ^abowed his head toward the earth, and worshiped.

9 Then he said, “If now I have found grace in Your sight, O Lord, ^alet my Lord, I pray, go among us, even though we are a ^bstiff-necked people; and pardon our iniquity and our sin, and take us as ^cYour inheritance.”
