Exodus 23:20 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

Bible Comments

Behold, I send an Angel before thee The Angel of the covenant: accordingly, the Israelites, in the wilderness, are said to tempt Christ. It is promised that this blessed Angel should keep them in the way, though it lay through a wilderness first, and afterward through their enemies' country; and thus Christ has prepared a place for his followers. Beware of him, and obey his voice; provoke him not It is at your peril if you do; for my name My nature, my authority; is in him.

21 Beware of him, and obey his voice, provoke him not; for he will not pardon your transgressions: for my name is in him.
