28 Moses afte And the Lord descended in the cloud, in the pillar in which His glory The Lord accordingly hearkens in grace, and undertakes for Israel against the Canaanites, warning them against a covenant with the inhabitants of the land, and insisting on His own sole worship, His feasts, His firstlings and firstfruits; on His sabbaths, on the absence of leaven and unseemly ways, the fruit of Satan's wiles among the heathen. The consequence of such a division is indeed lowering in the extreme. All the people then saw the thunderings and the lightnings, and the voice of the trumpet, and the mountain smoking, and stood afar off, asking that not God but Moses should speak with them. For instance, in the earlier half of Exodus, where we have God's dealings in grace, the Sabbath-day is brought in, marked out by the bread God provided for His people, the manna the figure of Christ come down from heaven to be the food of the hungry on earth: then followed the Sabbath at once. But we may refer toExodus 35:1-35; Exodus 35:1-35 as the witness to the zeal of the congregation for the construction and service of the sanctuary, opened by the law of the sabbath stated here for the last time in the book. "Take this stiffnecked people for Your inheritance." Now we are here told. What follows, that God keeps mercy to a thousand generations, we have expounded in chapter 20; whilst, on the other hand, the punishments which He requires for mens sins are only extended to the third and fourth generation, because His clemency surpasses His judgment, as is said in Psalms 30:5, (379) There is only a moment in his anger, but life in his favor; and although this only relates properly to believers, yet it flows from a general principle. He ordered that there should be the Urim and the Thummim connected with the high priest's breastplate; that is the means of divine guidance for the people. (1.) A few words on the law may be well here. It would make us feel what ought to be done, but gives not of itself the power to do it. the seeming disorder of God is incomparably more orderly than man's best order. We have the position of sons, a relationship which the Lord Jesus had in all its perfection, and in an infinitely higher sense, in which no creature can share it along with Him. Yet the Bible declares, Paul the apostle prayed for the Ephesians that they might know what are the riches of His inheritance in the saints. prayer. Thus God has given the order of extermination to protect His own innocent children. So three times a year they were to appear before God, the God of Israel. me What a solemn but yet gracious manifestation is here made of God.

Exodus 33:15) that God would dwell in the midst of Israel and lead His people into the Promised Land (Exodus 34:9). THE FULFILMENT BY GOD OF HIS PROMISE TO MOSES. Filled with joyful boldness, he turns the very fact of Israels stiff-neckedness into a plea for the presence and favour of God. This section coheres You see the first born son used to always be the priest of the house, he belonged to God. He descended in the cloud Probably [God passed by and declared His name, declared His glory. The first, Exodus 3:4, was delivered And all the women that were wise hearted did spin with their hands, and brought that which they had spun, both of blue, and of purple, and of scarlet, and of fine linen. CHAPTER 34 THE RESULT: THE SECOND COVENANT AND THE GLORY Gods boundless mercy is to sinful manLike to the ever wealthy ocean;Which, though it sends forth thousand streams, tis neerKnown, or else seen, to be the emptier.. Director Otto Preminger Writers Dalton Trumbo (screenplay) Leon Uris (novel) Stars Paul Newman Eva Marie Saint Ralph Richardson The last chapter records, first, Jehovah's call to Moses to set up the dwelling of the appointed tent on the first day of the first month (i.e., in the second year, ver. _HILDA BRIGHT AND KITTY PRIDE_ Of them He came, and He deigned to have the memorial of them on this table before God. Long-suffering; as also in Numbers 14:18, and Psalms 86:15. As surely as God is, man's conscience bears witness to Him. How were they worshiping their gods?If you go into the Museum of Natural History in Jerusalem, and you go downstairs, in one area you will find diggings from the archeologists of the pre-Israel culture from the Canaanite period. It is a great mistake to suppose that the proclamation of divine goodness in this scene is the gospel. In short therefore the children of Israel stood on the ground of man in the flesh; and man in the flesh, as he is a sinful being, can neither deny nor accomplish his obligation to do the will of God. That is very true; it is impossible if you're only dealing with natural things. The coat of fine linen embroidered means personal righteousness in ways, set off with every beauty of grace. Their relationship with the parents was just so off the wall that their minds just block out years of their childhood and they can't even tell you about areas of their childhood because the psychic wounds are so great that they just-they've had to build a wall and they just blocked it out. Thus there are plainly two distinct senses of sanctification: one absolute, in which a man is severed once for all from the world to God; the other relative, as being practical and hence differing in measure in the after career of each Christian. He prized you so highly that He sent His Son to die for your sins so that He could have you for His own. And he was there with the Lord for forty days and forty nights; and he did neither eat bread, nor drink water. God is not the discovery of the unaided intellect. Unbelievers fight shy of it, and take certain doings or commands wrested from their context, and without examination as to the reason why. Let a man once steal, and he is never trusted again, even though he has made reparation for it. He uses all the personal confidence that God had in him on behalf of the people. (2.) No doubt the time was not yet come for God to reveal Himself as He is. I get so tired of hearing them say, "Well, I just don't love them anymore." Exodus 34:5. He descended _in the cloud_ Probably that His humble reverence and adoration of God's glory, giving him the honour due to that name he had thus proclaimed. He keepeth mercy for thousands. So the veil still over their eyes, not being able to behold the truth of Jesus Christ. We are children, members of the family of God. Another revelation has been vouchsafed since, based upon the same condescension (Philippians 2:5). If it weren't for the power of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the world would be in a much greater mess than it is today, because people are doing such absolutely foolish things in destroying their own children. preacher, and God himself in his covenant engagements is the "In the third month, when the children of Israel were gone forth out Lest, however, this indulgence should be perverted into a license for sin, it is afterwards added, by way of correction, with (380) cleansing He will not cleanse, which, with the Chaldee interpreter and others, I understand as applying to His severe judgment against the reprobate and obstinate; for I do not like their opinion who say that, although God indeed pardons sins, yet He still moderately chastises those who have sinned; since this is a poor conjecture, that punishment is required though the guilt is remitted; and besides, it is altogether untrue, inasmuch as it is manifest, from experience that God passes over many sins without punishment. But it is a strange plea he urges: For it is a stiff-necked people. And the Lord passed by [Now the Jehovah Witnesses think the name is Jehovah but other evidence seems to point to Yahweh, "The Lord passed by".] All this was plain, but in the tabernacle we have more than this. The bells give their sound when the high priest goes in and when he comes out. Moses wanted` nothing apart from the people; even if he went out of the camp, it was to gather so much more of blessing for the people that he had left behind. It was no deduction of philosophy, no imposition of priestcraft, but the revelation of the Lord (Job 11:7; 1 Corinthians 1:21). Now your first born son, you had to redeem from God. The result soon appears in their ruin; but Jehovah shows that He knew from the first, before any result appeared, their inability to stand before Him: "Lo," says He to Moses, "I come unto thee in a thick cloud, that the people may hear when I speak with thee, and believe thee for ever." It was now a question of a nation, and not of individuals merely, thus governed of one nation in the midst of many which were to behold in it the consequences of fidelity or the lack of it toward the law of Jehovah. 5 And the LORD descended in the cloud, and stood with him there, and proclaimed the name of the LORD. But if it isn't there, then it'll go on and it passes from generation to generation.You'll find that in your psychology and in your sociological studies that the-that a person gets his role for parenthood from his parents. His descending bespeaks his condescension; he humbles himself to take cognizance of those that humble themselves to walk with him. This follows here. They were a people in the flesh. Thus he avails himself of the special affection God had shown him to put himself with the people, and to secure God's presence going with the people, who otherwise could never enter the land. And Jehovah plagued the people, because they made the calf, which Aaron made." Comp. When God the Father shall have accomplished His present purpose here below, then will be caught up to meet the Lord those among whom the Spirit is thus making known God; and after that the ordinary dealings of God will resume their course through this world. These things God had already promised, and given Moses assurances of, and yet he prays for them, not as doubting the sincerity of God's grants, but as one solicitous for the ratification of them. WebWilliam Nicoll Expositor's Bible Commentary - Exodus 34:1-35. (1-3) Moses asks Pharaoh to let the children of Israel go to the wilderness to worship. God has revealed His mind, and to this, if wise, we must needs be subject. No covenant was to be made with them, no peace treaty. 2. 5, p. 346. Let us not forget it. For, as we said, the sanctification is "to obedience;" and this is the very first desire implanted in a soul from the moment that there is a real divine work in him. Before we can behold the vision of Eternal Love we must be willing to Revelation of Gods Grace. Can this God be unkind or unjust? STOOD WITH HIM THE Jehovah refuses to accompany Israel to the land of promise. Does not He mean what He says? What is He doing now? He hears it now; he receives Jesus as the gift of God's love with all simplicity. 6 And he passed in front of Moses, proclaiming, The Lord, the Lord, the It is recounted daily in Jewish prayers and celebrated in festivals such as Passover. In addition to atonement, these are the two urgent wants of fallen humanity. In the candlestick another truth comes before us. exodus 34:5 the lord descended in the cloud and stood with him there, and proclaimed the name of the lord. A remarkable provision is that the ephod of the high priest, which was the most important part of his costume, had the names of the children of Israel twice over. Let us not then have either hard thoughts of God or hard hearts towards our brethren. Some read it so as to express a mitigation of wrath, even when he does punish: When he empties, he will not make quite desolate; that is, "He does not proceed to the greatest extremity, till there be no remedy." It must not be of hewn stone, as their work would profane it; neither must the Israelite go up by steps, as thereby his nakedness would be manifested. But at any rate His goodness is caused to pass before him, which in Exodus 34:1-35 he sees. But the fact that the shine was fading away from his face, was indicating the fact that the law that God was given was to fade away when God established the new covenant with man through Jesus Christ. The Lord descended By some sensible token of his presence, and This is pursued to the end of the chapter, and in a very interesting way. Thus, it means thousands of generations! And no man shall come up with thee, neither let any man be seen throughout all the mount; neither let the flocks nor herds feed before the mount. It is the type of Christ interceding for us, and along with this the high priest's work that the manifestation of the Spirit be not hindered. This shows the essential difference between law and grace, which last means God giving in Christ all that man really needs for His own glory. "Thou shalt make thee no molten images.". This I maintain to be peculiar to Christianity in all its fulness. The nature also of His goodness and clemency is specified, viz., that He is not only placable, and ready, and disposed, to pardon, but that He patiently waits for those who have sinned, and invites them to repentance by His long-suffering. 8 Moses intreateth God to go with them. That is so absolutely sick I can't even think of it. Yet even then Jehovah, while warning against making gods of silver and gold, deigned to direct them to make to Him an altar of ground for burnt-offerings and peace-offerings: if of stone two prohibitions instruct His people. Very simple are the words and expressions; but how detailed. Some seem on the very verge of denying it altogether, in their one-sided zeal for the grace of God; others who stand stoutly and so far well for the responsibility of man misuse this truth so as apparently to swamp God's grace. What God is in and o Himself is thus defined: The Lord, the Lord God. The self-existent, self sufficient, all-powerful One. God "hath not given us the spirit of fear, but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.". These verses, as Stock says, show that the revelation of God was not merely to the outward sight, but chiefly to the heart and mind of Moses. manifestation of his glory. The reason is that He would impress on His people that all His dealings, varied as they may be, are intended to keep before their minds that rest to which He was steadily working, and into which He means to bring His own in due time. However, we find that God was pleased to give subsequently and separately, but yet in connection with the ten words, certain ordinances which concerned Israel in their worship. Thus, whatever sin on our part may call for, we have here the whole scene of creation, all things in heaven and all things on earth, claimed in the power of the Spirit in virtue of Christ's person and title, just as He was in fact anointed with the Holy Ghost and with power apart from blood-shedding. He was a sinner, and nothing else. Then the high priest alone was anointed; as we know Christ could be and was sealed of God the Father without blood, the Spirit thus attesting both the absolute purity of His person and the truth of His Sonship as man. And Moses called unto them; and Aaron and all the rulers of the congregation returned unto him: and Moses talked with them. first Table. But it remains always true that there is this difference. relation with them. But, secondly, the law is a test morally and individually. No such carnal thought entered as if God had need of bread from man. The cloudy pillar, which had stood at the door of the Tent of Meeting ( Exodus 33:10 ), was withdrawn while Moses ascended Sinai, and probably disappeared from men's sight. By the law he died to the law that he might live to God. God had said, in the close of the proclamation, that he would visit the iniquity upon the children; and Moses here deprecates that. Now there are all kinds of molten images in the land of Canaan. The words, therefore, may be properly paraphrased thus: Although God is pitiful and even ready to pardon, yet He does not therefore spare the despisers, but is a severe avenger of their impiety. This looks more at evil; "sanctified" to the good which attracted the heart now. If I do nothing to stop it, if I do nothing to hinder it, that little dog could actually kill a lot of the children on the playground, infect them so that they also would die. Or, he will not clear the impenitently guilty, that go on still in their trespasses: he will not clear the guilty without some satisfaction to his justice, and necessary vindications of the honour of his government. THE RENEWAL OF THE COVENANT Nobody doubts the good intentions of such as interpret it thus; but these are not enough with the word of God. He loved the people Himself, and delighted in Moses' love for them. He immediately grounded a prayer upon it (Exodus 34:9; Exodus 34:9); and a more earnest affectionate prayer it is, (1.) In addition, He is the eternal Creator, Healer, Savior, Judge, and the very pinnacle of wisdom, understanding, and This proclamation is of valuei. That is the bearing of it all. For pardon of sin: "O pardon our iniquity and our sin, else we cannot expect thee to go among us." Nevertheless, the opposite meaning would not be inappropriate here, With cutting off He will not cut off; for this is sometimes the sense of the verb , nakah; and it would thus be read conneetedly, that God pardons iniquities because He does not wish entirely to cut off the human race; for who shall escape if God should choose to call to judgment the sins even of believers? We have a nature which answers morally to God whom we imitate as well as obey in light and love, in holy and righteous ways, in mercy, truthfulness, and humility. At the end of these communications a call is given Moses to come up to Jehovah. The Son of the Father, He brings us into the knowledge of the true God as the Son knew Him in heaven, as the Son still of course knew Him on earth. They that are of Christ Jesus crucified the flesh with its affections and lusts. (377) So the V. Stetit Moyses eum eo, invocans nomen Domini.. It is evident that law as such, first of all, has no object to present to man. Hence we find, for instance, the righteousness of God in Romans. The guilty may be spared so that they may repent, but they will not be cleared. Moses sees them so stiff-necked that, for his part, he has neither patience nor power enough to deal with them. If the Spirit of God has thus wrought in him, he is separated to God from what he was. Without it the guilty people never could have been spared, but must have perished root and branch, as it was in consequence of this change that a new generation of the people of Israel entered into the land at all. The Divine name was proclaimed personally. usually was hidden, AND STOOD WITH HIM THERE, outside the cloud, AND Now we do so know Him. See EXODUS 33:9 NUMBERS 11:17,25. In the beginning ofExodus 21:1-36; Exodus 21:1-36 we find the type of the servant. This does not take them out of their condition of flesh and blood and all that pertains to it. IN THE CLOUD; in the cloudy pillar, which ordinarily stood up in the (1.) Yahweh Makes A Proclamation Concerning Himself To His People's Representative (Exodus 34:5). All of the firstborn of thy sons thou shalt redeem. Some, (377) therefore, understand it of Moses, that he called on the name of the Lord. usually was hidden, AND STOOD WITH HIM THERE, outside the cloud, AND God therefore makes much of the sign. The work is described with as much minuteness, in the execution as in the plan, throughoutExodus 36:1-38; Exodus 36:1-38; Exodus 37:1-29; Exodus 38:1-31; Exodus 39:1-43 till Moses, inspecting all and seeing that they had done it as Jehovah had commanded, blessed them. into the Tent of Meeting (which is here presupposed): cf. What do people mean by restricting themselves to a sense of sanctification which necessarily involves in it so portentous a conclusion? "[8] These, however, are not nearly so well defined as the six just listed. They are made of iron; they are made of stone. Calvin Soc. He will not undertake to unfold His Father's words to men in the millennium. Next, when the law was given, in the very centre of its requirements stands the Sabbath-day. "Now Lord, I've seen Your glory. CALLED UPON _the name of_ JEHOVAH] i.e. 24:18). Woes and wonders were their sublimest ideal of God.(3.) Their highest conceptions were to clothe him with clouds, while the poets robed him in terrors. The knowledge of Israel in the millennium will be genuine, for they shall be all taught of God. But here we must take care. It awaited the coming of a greater than Moses. But we must not be driven into any error, even the least to avoid the greatest; and it is certainly an error to swamp in one all the ways of God with the soul. 2. 7 keeping steadfast love for the thousandth generation,b. He visits the iniquity of the fathers upon the children. We ought to know heaven better than the earth. WebExodus 34:5-8. _And proclaimed the name of the Lord._] In answer to Moses's Not an inference from the phenomena of nature.

One loaf? Jehovah however stands to His own ways, and says to Moses, "Whosoever hath sinned against me, him will I blot out of my book. But it is generally and chiefly a means of health, filled with beautiful sounds, fragrant with sweetest odours, the pathway of sunbeams, the source of sparkling dew, the parent of harvests and fountain of earthly life. Faith, hope, and charity abounded in the mediator; and if the people were to be blessed, from God he drew on every spring of the blessing for His own glory. I grant you that, looking at the Pentecostal saints, in them we see the most powerful united testimony that ever was borne in this world; but it was borne in what was comparatively not the severest trial in earthly things chiefly, the superiority of those who had been newly created in Christ to the wretched selfishness of human nature. It is an inexcusable error, however, to suppose that God will finally accommodate to human wickedness. It can press duty to God and man on pain of death, but it has no object to reveal. The descent of God, which is here recorded, indicates no change of place, as if God, who fills heaven and earth, and whose immensity is universally diffused, altered His position, but it has reference to the perceptions of men, because under the appearance of the cloud God testified that He met Moses. The first, Exodus 3:4, was delivered to Moses for his instruction and What he is saying is, "If you only knew how much God valued you. Thus solemnly did Jehovah mark His dwelling-place in the midst of His people redeemed from Egypt; and He deigned to guide their journeys through the desert also by the same sign; for when the cloud was taken up, they journeyed; and if not taken up, they abode till it was. There is hardly a subject on which men are so apt to make mistakes as the true nature and application of love. 6 The LORD passed before him and proclaimed, The LORD, the If his master have given him a wife, and she have borne him sons or daughters; the wife and her children shall be her master's, and he shall go out by himself. What man or institution has these qualities? Into that wondrous knowledge we are brought by the Son come down here below; and above all by the Holy Ghost, now that Christ is gone up on high For in point of fact, when God was only known as the one God, however true this may be, He could not really be known as He is. That the terror of his greatness may not make us afraid, we are told how good he is; and, that we may not presume upon his goodness, we are told how great he is. God's promises are intended, not to supersede, but to direct and encourage, prayer. Poor people! They, with Aaron to help them, aimed a blow at the throne of God by making a golden calf. PROCLAIMED THE NAME OF THE LORD, called out and explained the THIRD SECTION (4.) Still Christ does bring us into His own relationship as far as it is possible for the creature to possess it. In the last He gave a sample of it before He went up on high. He that hath an ear, let him hear, and know, and believe. invoked Him in worship. And he passed in front of Moses, proclaiming, The LORD, the LORD, the compassionate and gracious God, slow to anger, abounding in love and faithfulness, maintaining love to thousands, and forgiving wickedness, rebellion and sin. [So that's sort of equivalent to our Thanksgiving in the fall time of the year.] It may be added here, as some have found an apparent inconsistency in comparing the passage with 1 Samuel 3:3, that the Hebrew means not "always" in the absolute sense, but continually or constantly. Although a revelation of the Divine Being was necessary, yet one so full and gracious was surely the result of the beneficent condescension of God. Thus Israel never was under absolute law. Afterward Moses and Aaron went in and told Pharaoh, Thus says the LORD God of Israel: Let My people go, that they may hold a feast to Me in the wilderness.. ], Moses response to Gods gracious revelation was submission and worship (Exodus 34:8). But if I look at the passage where it is said, "He made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him," it is evident that we are brought into the very presence of God. neither shall the sacrifice of the feast of the passover be left unto morning. His relationship is that of a son, not merely of one adopted into that place with no more reality than he obtains in human things.
