Behold, I send an Angel before thee, to keep thee in the way, and to bring thee into the place which I have prepared.
Ver. 20. Behold, I send an Angel,] i.e., Christ. Immediately after God had given the law, - by the rule and threats whereof God the Father in his government was to proceed, saith a divine, - and a after they had transgressed it, Exo 33:2-4 he could not go along with them, for he should destroy them: but his Angel, that is, his Son, he would send with them; who also would destroy them, if they turned not, nor repented according to the rules of his law, the gospel.
