Keluaran 32:34

32:34 So now go, lead the people to the place I have spoken to you about. See, ¹  my angel will go before you. But on the day that I punish, I will indeed punish them for their sin.” ² 

Keluaran 33:12

33:12 Moses said to the Lord, “See, you have been saying to me, ‘Bring this people up,’ ³  but you have not let me know whom you will send with me. But you said, ‘I know you by name, ⁴  and also you have found favor in my sight.’

[32:34]  ¹ tn Heb “behold, look.” Moses should take this fact into consideration.

[32:34]  ² sn The Law said that God would not clear the guilty. But here the punishment is postponed to some future date when he would revisit this matter. Others have taken the line to mean that whenever a reckoning was considered necessary, then this sin would be included (see B. Jacob, Exodus, 957). The repetition of the verb traditionally rendered “visit” in both clauses puts emphasis on the certainty – so “indeed.”

[33:12]  ³ tn The Hiphil imperative is from the same verb that has been used before for bringing the people up from Egypt and leading them to Canaan.

[33:12]  ⁴ tn That is, “chosen you.”
