Exodus 34:8 - Forerunner Commentary

Exodus 34:8

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.”

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.
