Exodus 33:5 - Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Bible Comments

I will come up — As if he had said, ye deserve that I should do so. Put off thine ornaments, that I may know what to do with thee — That is, put thyself into the posture of a penitent, that the dispute may be determined in thy favour, and mercy may rejoice against judgment.

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.
