Exodus 33:12-13 - Exposition

See, thou sayest . Moses takes advantage of his privilege of speaking as friend with friend, and uses familiar terms—"See," he says, "thou hast told me to conduct the people to Canaan, yet thou hast not made it clear whom thou wilt send with me. If it is to be an angel, what angel? Why not the angel of the original promise ( Exodus 23:20-23 )? Thou hast distinguished me with thy favour— Consider that this nation is thy people , and extend thy favour to them. At any rate shew me thy way —tell me plainly what thou wilt do."
