Summary Of Commentaries Associated With The Selected Verse
| Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834] |
See Exo 3:8.
For I will not go up in the midst of thee - The covenant on which the original promise Exo 23:20-23 was based had been broken by the people. Yahweh now therefore declared that though His Angel should go before Moses, He would withhold His own favoring presence. The nation should be put on a level with other nations, to lose its character as the people in special covenant with Yahweh (see the note at Exo 33:16). Thus were the people forcibly warned that His presence could prove a blessing to them only on condition of their keeping their part of the covenant Exo 33:3. If they failed in this, His presence would be to them "a consuming fire" (Deu 4:24; compare Exo 32:10). |

| I will send an angel - In Exo 23:20, God promises to send an angel to conduct them into the good land, in whom the name of God should be; that is, in whom God should dwell. See Clarke's note on Exo 23:20 (note). Here he promises that an angel shall be their conductor; but as there is nothing particularly specified of him, it has been thought that an ordinary angel is intended, and not that Angel of the Covenant promised before. And this sentiment seems to be confirmed by the following verse. |
10 Now therefore let me alone [03240], that my wrath [0639] may wax hot [02734] against them, and that I may consume [03615] them: and I will make [06213] of thee a great [01419] nation [01471].

16 For wherein shall it be known [03045] here [0645] that I and thy people [05971] have found [04672] grace [02580] in thy sight [05869]? is it not in that thou goest [03212] with us? so shall we be separated [06395], I and thy people [05971], from all the people [05971] that are upon the face [06440] of the earth [0127].
20 Behold, I send [07971] an Angel [04397] before [06440] thee, to keep [08104] thee in the way [01870], and to bring [0935] thee into the place [04725] which I have prepared [03559].

22 But if thou shalt indeed [08085] obey [08085] his voice [06963], and do [06213] all that I speak [01696]; then I will be an enemy [0340] unto thine enemies [0341], and an adversary [06887] unto thine adversaries [06696].
23 For mine Angel [04397] shall go [03212] before [06440] thee, and bring [0935] thee in unto the Amorites [0567], and the Hittites [02850], and the Perizzites [06522], and the Canaanites [03669], the Hivites [02340], and the Jebusites [02983]: and I will cut them off [03582].
