Êxodo 33:21 Meaning and Commentary

Exodus 33:21

And the Lord said, behold, [there is] a place by me
Near him, not in or by the tabernacle, where it may be the pillar of cloud now was, as it had been, ( Exodus 33:9 Exodus 33:10 ) but upon the rock, where it had been for many days, and near to which there was a fit place for Moses to be in, and have that view of the goodness and glory of God he would favour him with:

and thou shall stand upon a rock;
in Horeb, typical of Christ the rock, the rock of Israel, and the rock of ages, the rock of refuge, salvation, and strength; comparable to one for shelter, solidity, firmness, strength, and duration; and happy are they who stand upon this rock; they are safe and secure, they stand on high, and have noble prospects of the perfections of God, and of the riches of his grace and goodness, see ( Psalms 50:2 Psalms 50:3 ) ( Isaiah 33:16 Isaiah 33:17 ) ( Matthew 7:24 Matthew 7:25 ) .

Êxodo 33:21 In-Context

19 Respondeu-lhe o Senhor: Eu farei passar toda a minha bondade diante de ti, e te proclamarei o meu nome Jeová; e terei misericórdia de quem eu tiver misericórdia, e me compadecerei de quem me compadecer.

20 E disse mais: Não poderás ver a minha face, porquanto homem nenhum pode ver a minha face e viver.

21 Disse mais o Senhor: Eis aqui um lugar junto a mim; aqui, sobre a penha, te poras.

22 E quando a minha glória passar, eu te porei numa fenda da penha, e te cobrirei com a minha mão, até que eu haja passado.

23 Depois, quando eu tirar a mão, me verás pelas costas; porém a minha face não se verá.
