Exodus 34:8

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.

Exodus 34:9 >>

And Moses made haste, and bowed his head - Thus he expressed his humble reverence and adoration of God's glory, together with his joy in this discovery God had made of himself, and his thankfulness for it. Then likewise he expressed his holy submission to the will of God made known in this declaration, subscribing to his justice as well as mercy, and putting himself and his people Israel under the government of such a God as Jehovah had now proclaimed himself to be. Let this God be our God for ever and ever!
