Exodus 33:5 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

Bible Comments

I will come up in the midst of thee In anger, not in favour. This threatening hath a condition implied, except thou repent, as the next words plainly show. That I may know what to do unto thee That I may either inflict my judgments or suspend them, as thou art penitent or impenitent.

Exodus 33:5

5 For the LORD had said unto Moses, Say unto the children of Israel, Ye are a stiffnecked people: I will come up into the midst of thee in a moment, and consume thee: therefore now put off thy ornaments from thee, that I may know what to do unto thee.
