Éxodo 33:1 Meaning and Commentary

Exodus 33:1

And the Lord said unto Moses, depart, and go up hence
Not from the place where Moses was, which was the top of the mount, but where the camp of Israel was, at the bottom of the mount; where they had lain encamped some time, but were now ordered to proceed on their journey:

thou, and the people which thou hast brought up out of the land of
Egypt;
though his wrath was in some measure mitigated, and he had so far forgave their sin, that he would not cut them off from being a people; yet still he does not call them his people, or own that he brought them out of Egypt, as he does in the preface to the commands they had now broke, as if they were not under his care and conduct; but speaks of them in a different manner, as a people that Moses had brought out from thence, and whom he orders to go on with:

unto the land which I sware unto Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob,
saying, unto thy seed will I give it:
meaning the land of Canaan, which as he had promised with an oath to their fathers to give it to them, he would faithfully observe it, though they were unworthy of such a favour.

Éxodo 33:1 In-Context

1 Y el SEÑOR dijo a Moisés: Ve, sube de aquí, tú y el pueblo que sacaste de la tierra de Egipto, a la tierra de la cual juré a Abraham, Isaac, y Jacob, diciendo: A tu simiente la daré

2 (Y yo enviaré delante de ti el ángel, y echaré fuera al cananeo y al amorreo, y al heteo, y al ferezeo, y al heveo y al jebuseo.

3 A la tierra que fluye leche y miel; porque yo no subiré en medio de ti, porque eres pueblo de dura cerviz, para que no te consuma en el camino

4 Y oyendo el pueblo esta mala palabra, vistieron luto, y ninguno se puso sus atavíos

5 Porque el SEÑOR había dicho a Moisés: Di a los hijos de Israel: Vosotros sois pueblo de dura cerviz; en un momento subiré en medio de ti, y te consumiré; quítate pues ahora tus atavíos, para que yo sepa lo que te he de hacer
