Deuteronomy 9:14 Meaning and Commentary

Deuteronomy 9:14

Let me alone, that I may destroy them
Do not say one word to me on their behalf, or entreat me to spare them, and not destroy them:

and blot out their name from under heaven;
that no such nation may be heard of, or known by the name of Israel:

and I will make of thee a nation mightier and greater than they;
of his family, whereby the Lord's promise to Abraham would not have been made void, but equally firm and sure, since this mightier and greater nation would have been of his seed; (See Gill on Exodus 32:10).

Deuteronomy 9:14 In-Context

12 dixitque mihi surge et descende hinc cito quia populus tuus quos eduxisti de Aegypto deseruerunt velociter viam quam demonstrasti eis feceruntque sibi conflatile

13 rursumque ait Dominus ad me cerno quod populus iste durae cervicis sit

14 dimitte me ut conteram eum et deleam nomen eius sub caelo et constituam te super gentem quae hac maior et fortior sit

15 cumque de monte ardente descenderem et duas tabulas foederis utraque tenerem manu

16 vidissemque vos peccasse Domino Deo vestro et fecisse vobis vitulum conflatilem ac deseruisse velociter viam eius quam vobis ostenderat
