Êxodo 33:17 Meaning and Commentary

Exodus 33:17

And the Lord said unto Moses, I will do this thing also
that thou hast spoken
Or asked for, namely, go with them himself in this amazing and distinguished manner, in the pillar of the cloud and fire; this he would do as well as show him his way and his works, and indeed all this he did by granting that:

for thou hast found grace in my sight, and I know thee by name;
he owns the truth of the thing, on which Moses had formed his plan, and by granting his request gave a fresh proof and evidence of it; and what can be a greater blessing than to partake of the special grace, favour, and good will of God, and to be particularly and personally known to him, with such a knowledge as has connected with it the strongest affection and highest esteem?

Êxodo 33:17 In-Context

15 Então Moisés lhe declarou: “Se não fores conosco, não nos envies.

16 Como se saberá que eu e o teu povo podemos contar com o teu favor, se não nos acompanhares? Que mais poderá distinguir a mim e a teu povo de todos os demais povos da face da terra?”

17 O SENHOR disse a Moisés: “Farei o que me pede, porque tenho me agradado de você e o conheço pelo nome”.

18 Então disse Moisés: “Peço-te que me mostres a tua glória”.

19 E Deus respondeu: “Diante de você farei passar toda a minha bondade e diante de você proclamarei o meu nome: o SENHOR. Terei misericórdia de quem eu quiser ter misericórdia e terei compaixão de quem eu quiser ter compaixão”.
