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 El Señor
respondió:
—Haré pasar delante de ti toda mi bondad y delante de ti proclamaré mi nombre, Yahveh.
Pues tendré misericordia de quien yo quiera y mostraré compasión con quien yo quiera.

20 Sin embargo, no podrás ver directamente mi rostro, porque nadie puede verme y seguir con vida.

21 El Señor
siguió diciendo:
—Párate cerca de mí, sobre esta roca.

22 Cuando pase mi gloriosa presencia, te esconderé en la grieta de la roca y te cubriré con mi mano hasta que yo haya pasado.

23 Después retiraré la mano y dejaré que me veas por detrás; pero no se verá mi rostro.
