Exodus 34:9
Compare all
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.”  

The Covenant Renewed

10 And He said: “Behold, aI make a covenant. Before all your people I will bdo marvels such as have not been done in all the earth, nor in any nation; and all the people among whom you are shall see the work of the Lord. For it is can awesome thing that I will do with you.  
11 aObserve what I command you this day. Behold, bI am driving out from before you the Amorite and the Canaanite and the Hittite and the Perizzite and the Hivite and the Jebusite.  
12 aTake heed to yourself, lest you make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land where you are going, lest it be a snare in your midst.

John Wesley's Notes
<< Exodus 34:8   Exodus 34:10 >>


Exodus 34:9

And he said, I pray thee go among us - For thy presence is all to our safety and success. And pardon our iniquity and our sin - Else we cannot expect thee to go among us. And take us for thine inheritance - Which thou wilt have a particular eye to, and concern for. These things God had already promised Moses; and yet he prays for them, not as doubting the sincerity of God's grants, but as one solicitous for the ratification of them. But it is a strange plea he urges, for it is a stiff - necked people - God had given this as a reason why he would not go along with them, Exodus 33:3. Yea, saith Moses, the rather go along with us; for the worse they are, the more need they have of thy presence. Moses sees them so stiff - necked, that he has neither patience nor power enough to deal with them; therefore, Lord, do thou go among us; else they will never be kept in awe; thou wilt spare, and bear with them, for thou art God and not man.
