Exodus 23:21 - Clarke's commentary and critical notes on the Bible

Bible Comments

Beware of him, and obey his voice, provoke him not; for he will not pardon your transgressions: for my name is in him. He will not pardon your transgressions - He is not like a man, with whom ye may think that ye may trifle; were he either man or angel, in the common acceptation of the term, it need not be said, He will not pardon your transgressions, for neither man nor angel could do it.

My name is in him - The Jehovah dwells in him; in him dwelt all the fullness of the Godhead bodily; and because of this he could either pardon or punish. All power is given unto me in heaven and earth, Matthew 28:18.
