Éxodo 33:14 Meaning and Commentary

Exodus 33:14

And he said
In answer to his request:

my presence shall go [with thee];
or before thee, both with Moses and before the people; meaning the Angel of his presence he had before promised, the eternal Word and Son of God, who saved them, redeemed them, bore and carried them all the days of old: or "my faces shall go" {y}; all the three divine Persons, Father, Son, and Spirit; there was Jehovah the Father, whose the Angel of his presence was; and there was Jehovah the Son, Christ, whom they tempted in the wilderness; and there was Jehovah the Holy Spirit, whom they vexed, see ( Isaiah 63:9-11 )

and I will give thee rest;
not ease, and peace and tranquillity of mind, or a freedom from the fear of enemies, and all dangers by them, much less rest in the grave, before Israel should be brought into Canaan's land; but rather the promised land itself, which was "the rest" that was promised, and would be given, and was typical of that eternal rest which remains for the people of God in heaven, and is a pure gift; for this promise is not personal and peculiar to Moses, but belonged to all the people, to whom God would give the typical rest, see ( Deuteronomy 12:9 ) .

Éxodo 33:14 In-Context

12 Moisés ve la gloria del Señor
Un día Moisés dijo al Señor
:
—Tú me has estado diciendo: “Lleva a este pueblo a la Tierra Prometida”. Pero no me has dicho a quién enviarás conmigo. Me has dicho: “Yo te conozco por tu nombre y te miro con agrado”.

13 Si es cierto que me miras con buenos ojos, permíteme conocer tus caminos, para que pueda comprenderte más a fondo y siga gozando de tu favor. Y recuerda que esta nación es tu propio pueblo.

14 El Señor
le respondió:
—Yo mismo iré contigo, Moisés, y te daré descanso; todo te saldrá bien.

15 Entonces Moisés dijo:
—Si tú mismo no vienes con nosotros, no nos hagas salir de este lugar.

16 ¿Cómo se sabrá que me miras con agrado —a mí y a tu pueblo— si no vienes con nosotros? Pues tu presencia con nosotros es la que nos separa —a tu pueblo y a mí— de todos los demás pueblos de la tierra.
