Contextual Overview

12 Moses said to the Lord , "You told me to lead these people, but you did not say who you would send with me. You said to me, ‘I know you very well, and I am pleased with you.' 13 If I have really pleased you, then teach me your ways. I want to know you. Then I can continue to please you. Remember that these people are your nation." 14 The Lord answered, "I myself will go with you. I will lead you." 15 Then Moses said to him, "If you don't go with us, then don't make us leave this place. 16 Also, how will we know if you are pleased with me and these people? If you go with us, we will know for sure. If you don't go with us, these people and I will be no different from any other people on the earth." 17 Then the Lord said to Moses, "I will do what you ask. I will do this because I am pleased with you and because I know you very well." 18 Then Moses said, "Now, please show me your Glory." 19 Then the Lord answered, "I will show my love and mercy to anyone I want to. So I will cause my perfect goodness to pass by in front of you, and I will speak my name, Yahweh , so that you can hear it. 20 But you cannot see my face. No one can see me and continue to live." 21 Then the Lord said, "Here is a place for you to stand by me on this large rock.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And he said,.... In answer to his request:

my presence shall go [with thee]; or before thee, both with Moses and before the people; meaning the Angel of his presence he had before promised, the eternal Word and Son of God, who saved them, redeemed them, bore and carried them all the days of old: or "my faces shall go" y; all the three divine Persons, Father, Son, and Spirit; there was Jehovah the Father, whose the Angel of his presence was; and there was Jehovah the Son, Christ, whom they tempted in the wilderness; and there was Jehovah the Holy Spirit, whom they vexed, see Isaiah 63:9

and I will give thee rest; not ease, and peace and tranquillity of mind, or a freedom from the fear of enemies, and all dangers by them, much less rest in the grave, before Israel should be brought into Canaan's land; but rather the promised land itself, which was "the rest" that was promised, and would be given, and was typical of that eternal rest which remains for the people of God in heaven, and is a pure gift; for this promise is not personal and peculiar to Moses, but belonged to all the people, to whom God would give the typical rest, see Deuteronomy 12:9.

y פני ילכו "facies meae ibunt", Montanus, Vatablus.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Rest - This was the common expression for the possession of the promised land. Deuteronomy 3:20; Joshua 1:13, Joshua 1:15; compare Hebrews 4:8.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Exodus 33:14. My presence shall go with thee — פני ילכו panai yelechu, my faces shall go. I shall give thee manifestations of my grace and goodness through the whole of thy journey. I shall vary my appearances for thee, as thy necessities shall require.
