Éxodo 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 ) .

Éxodo 33:21 In-Context

19 Y El respondió: Yo haré pasar toda mi bondad delante de ti, y proclamaré el nombre del SEÑOR delante de ti; y tendré misericordia del que tendré misericordia, y tendré compasión de quien tendré compasión.

20 Y añadió: No puedes ver mi rostro; porque nadie puede verme, y vivir.

21 Entonces el SEÑOR dijo: He aquí, hay un lugar junto a mí, y tú estarás sobre la peña;

22 y sucederá que al pasar mi gloria, te pondré en una hendidura de la peña y te cubriré con mi mano hasta que yo haya pasado.

23 Después apartaré mi mano y verás mis espaldas; pero no se verá mi rostro.
