Exodus 33:14 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

My presence, Heb. my face, i.e. I myself, by comparing this with 2 Samuel 17:11. The Angel of my presence, Isaiah 63:9; the pledge of my presence, the cloudy pillar; and I will not turn thee over to an angel, as I threatened, Exodus 34:2. See Deuteronomy 4:34. I will give thee rest; not only rest from thy present anguish and perplexity of mind for thy people, but in due time I will bring them to their resting-place and settled habitation; for it is evident from Exodus 34:15,16, that Moses's care and prayer was more for the people than for himself.

Exodus 33:14

14 And he said, My presence shall go with thee, and I will give thee rest.
