Exodus 33:14 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

Bible Comments

My presence shall go with thee Hebrew, My face, I myself, my own person, as the same phrase is translated 2 Samuel 17:11. Or, the angel of my presence, Isaiah 63:9. The meaning is, I will conduct you myself, as I have done hitherto, by my glorious presence in the tabernacle. So that this is a revocation of the sentence pronounced Exodus 33:3. And will give thee rest Not only thee, Moses, from thy present perplexity, but in due time will bring thy people to their rest and settlement in the promised land. For it is evident that Moses's care and prayer were more for the people than for himself.
