Esodo 32:14 Meaning and Commentary

Exodus 32:14

And the Lord repented of the evil which he thought to do
unto his people.
] He did not do what he threatened to do, and seemed to have in his thoughts and designs, but did what Moses desired he would, ( Exodus 32:12 ) not that any of God's thoughts or the determinations of his mind are alterable; for the thoughts of his heart are to all generations; but he changes the outward dispensations of his providence, or his methods of acting with men, which he has been taking or threatened to take; and this being similar to what they do when they repent of anything, who alter their course, hence repentance is ascribed to God, though, properly speaking, it does not belong to him, see ( Jeremiah 18:8 ) . Aben Ezra thinks that the above prayer of Moses, which was so prevalent with God, does not stand in its proper place, but should come after ( Exodus 32:31 ) for, to what purpose, says he, should Moses say to the Israelites, ( Exodus 32:30 ) "peradventure I shall make an atonement for your sin": if he was appeased by his prayer before?

Esodo 32:14 In-Context

12 Perchè direbbero gli Egizj: Egli li ha tratti fuori per male, per farli morir su per que’ monti, e per consumarli d’in su la terra? Racqueta il tuo cruccio acceso, e pentiti di questo male inverso il tuo popolo.
13 Ricordati di Abrahamo, d’Isacco e d’Israele, tuoi servitori, ai quali tu giurasti per te stesso; ed a’ quali dicesti: Io moltiplicherò la vostra progenie, come le stelle del cielo; e darò alla vostra progenie tutto questo paese, del quale io ho parlato, acciocchè lo possegga in perpetuo.
14 E il Signore si pentì del male che avea detto di fare al suo popolo.
15 E Mosè, rivoltosi, scese dal monte, avendo in mano le due Tavole della Testimonianza, tavole scritte da’ due lati, di qua e di là.
16 E le Tavole erano lavoro di Dio, e la scrittura era scrittura di Dio, intagliata sopra le Tavole.
