How preachers through history handled this text
13 public-domain excerpts on Exodus 33, from the church fathers to the Puritans.
“Moses is very earnest with God. Thus, by the intercession of Christ, we are not only saved from ruin, but become entitled to everlasting happiness. Observe here how he pleads. We find grace in God's sight, if we find grace in our hearts to guide and quicken us in the way of our duty. Moses speaks as one who dreaded the thought of going forward without the Lord's presence. God's gracious promises, and mercy towards us, should not only encourage our faith, but also excite our fervency in prayer. Observe how he speeds. …”
— Matthew Henry, Commentary on the Whole Bible (Concise), on Exodus 33:12–35 (Public Domain)
