James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Exodus 34:1-35

THE COVENANT RENEWED MOSES SEPARATED UNTO GOD (Exodus 33:7-11 ) The tabernacle, or tent, here referred to (Exodus 33:7 ), was that of Moses, as the Tabernacle of the Lord had not yet been erected. As the Lord would no longer manifest Himself among the people, it was necessary thus to become separated from them if Moses was to enjoy such intercourse. (Compare 2 Corinthians 6:14-18 .) “The tabernacle of the Congregation” is rendered in the Revised Version, “the tent of meeting,” i.e., the... read more

Joseph Parker

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Exodus 34:1-35

Morning on the Mount Exo 34:2 God wishes me to be alone with him. How solemn will the meeting be! Father and child; Sovereign and subject; Creator and creature! The distance between us will be infinite, unless he shorten it by his mercy! Oh, my poor broken and weary heart, think of it and be glad; God wants thee to meet him alone! He will heal thy wounds; he will shed his light upon thy tears, and make them shine like jewels; he will make thee young again. Oh that I might be on the mountain... read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Exodus 34:10-17

10-17 The Israelites are commanded to destroy every monument of idolatry, however curious or costly; to refuse all alliance, friendship, or marriage with idolaters, and all idolatrous feasts; and they were reminded not with idolaters, and all idolatrous feats; and they were reminded not to repeat the crime of making molten images. Jealously is called the rage of a man, Proverbs 6:34; but in God it is holy and just displeasure. Those cannot worship God aright, who do not worship him only. read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Exodus 34:10-17

The Gracious Promise v. 10. And He said, Behold, I make a covenant, in the place of or in addition to that which had been broken by Israel's idolatry: Before all the people, in their presence, in their sight, I will do marvels, such as have not been done in all the earth nor in any nation, namely, in bringing His people safely into the Land of Promise. And all the people among which thou art shall see the work of the Lord; for it is a terrible thing that I will do with thee, a thing which... read more

Frederick Brotherton Meyer

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Exodus 34:1-17

the Covenant of the Law Renewed Exodus 34:1-17 Before we can behold the vision of Eternal Love we must be willing to fulfill three conditions: (1) Earliness : “My soul, be ready in the morning.” (2) Solitude : “No man shall come up with thee.” (3) The open heart : “That God may write there what He will.” God is always passing by and covering us with the shadow of His hand, and proclaiming His loving kindness and tender mercy. He keeps mercy for thousands, and limits the entail of sin to... read more

G. Campbell Morgan

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Exodus 34:1-35

Moses was called again into the mount and the promised unveiling was made to him. It consisted of a declaration by God of the truth concerning Himself, first, as to His nature and second, as to His methods with men. In these we have the merging of the two essential truths that God is love and God is light. He is full of compassion and yet absolutely holy, He forgives and yet cannot clear the guilty. It was strange and paradoxical, yet an infinite music, fully interpreted when Moses was... read more

Exodus 34:12-14 “Take heed to yourself lest you make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land where you are going, lest it be for a snare among you. But you shall break down their altars, and dash in pieces their pillars, and you will cut down their Asherah images, because... read more
