Êxodo 33:4 Meaning and Commentary

Exodus 33:4

And when the people heard these evil tidings
That God would withdraw his gracious presence, and go not up with them himself, only send an angel with them; and especially this may respect what is threatened, ( Exodus 33:5 ) and had been said at this time:

they mourned;
were inwardly and heartily grieved for their sin, whereby they had provoked the Lord to depart from them, and gave some outward and open tokens of it:

and no man did put on his ornaments;
they used to wear at other times, their rings and jewels, which the princes and the chief among the people especially were wont to wear; and in common the people did not put on their best clothes, or what they usually wore, but clothed themselves in mournful habits, in sackcloth and ashes, or in some such like manner.

Êxodo 33:4 In-Context

2 E enviarei um anjo adiante de ti (e lançarei fora os cananeus, e os amorreus, e os heteus, e os perizeus, e os heveus, e os jebuseus),

3 para uma terra que mana leite e mel; porque eu não subirei no meio de ti, porquanto és povo de cerviz dura; para que não te consuma eu no caminho.

4 E quando o povo ouviu esta má notícia, pôs-se a prantear, e nenhum deles vestiu os seus atavios.

5 Pois o Senhor tinha dito a Moisés: Dize aos filhos de Israel: És um povo de dura cerviz; se por um só momento eu subir no meio de ti, te consumirei; portanto agora despe os teus atavios, para que eu saiba o que te hei de fazer.

6 Então os filhos de Israel se despojaram dos seus atavios, desde o monte Horebe em diante.
