Contextual Overview

¹² (iii) Moshe said to Adonai , "Look, you say to me, ‘Make these people move on!' But you haven't let me know whom you will be sending with me. Nevertheless you have said, ‘I know you by name,' and also, ‘You have found favor in my sight.' ¹³ Now, please, if it is really the case that I have found favor in your sight, show me your ways; so that I will understand you and continue finding favor in your sight. Moreover, keep on seeing this nation as your people." ¹⁴ He answered, "Set your mind at rest — my presence will go with you, after all." ¹⁵ Moshe replied, "If your presence doesn't go with us, don't make us go on from here. ¹⁶ For how else is it to be known that I have found favor in your sight, I and your people, other than by your going with us? That is what distinguishes us, me and your people, from all the other peoples on earth." ¹⁷ (iv) Adonai said to Moshe, "I will also do what you have asked me to do, because you have found favor in my sight, and I know you by name." ¹⁸ But Moshe said, "I beg you to show me your glory!" ¹⁹ He replied, "I will cause all my goodness to pass before you, and in your presence I will pronounce the name of Adonai . Moreover, I show favor to whomever I will, and I display mercy to whomever I will. ²⁰ But my face," he continued, "you cannot see, because a human being cannot look at me and remain alive. ²¹ Here," he said, "is a place near me; stand on the rock.

in a clift: Psalms 18:2, Song of Solomon 2:3, Isaiah 2:21, Isaiah 32:2, 1 Corinthians 10:4, 2 Corinthians 5:19

cover thee: Deuteronomy 33:12, Psalms 91:1, Psalms 91:4, The rock on which Moses stood, and in the clift of which he was sheltered, was doubtless an emblem of Christ; in whose person, character, and salvation alone, sinners may by faith see the glory of God, and live; for there it appears in softened splendour; as the sun, when his brightness is diminished by a mist, is beheld more distinctly by the human eye. - Scott

Reciprocal: 1 Kings 19:9 - unto a cave Song of Solomon 2:14 - clefts

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And it shall come to pass, while my glory passeth by,.... The displays of his grace and goodness are made:

that I will put thee in a clift of the rock; in one of the clefts, made by smiting it, through which the waters gushed out for the relief of the Israelites, and their flocks: and we are told c, that to this day, on the summit of Mount Sinai, by the Arabians called Gibel el Mousa, or the mountain of Moses, is perceived a large chasm in the rock, said to be the cave where Moses hid himself from God, when the glory of the Lord passed before him. Now this cleft may be an emblem of Christ, as crucified, smitten, wounded and slain; who was smitten by the law and justice of God, as this rock was smitten by the rod of Moses: and had gashes and wounds made in him like the clefts of a rock, being pierced with the nails and spear: and in these clefts of the rock saints dwell by faith, Song of Solomon 2:14:

and will cover thee with my hand; with his cloud, as Ben Melech, and so may denote the cloudiness, obscurity, and darkness of the legal dispensation: but here it seems to denote imperfection, not being able to bear the full sight of the divine glory, and which angels themselves cannot bear, but cover their faces; and also the danger of being consumed, were it not that saints are in Christ, and covered and secured in him, otherwise God is a consuming fire:

while I pass by thee; or his glory, the glory of all his perfections, wisdom, holiness, justice, power, and faithfulness, and especially of his grace, mercy, and goodness in Christ.
