JANUARY 8, 2021 Exodus 34:33 And when Moses had finished speaking with them, he put a veil on his face. The radiance that emitted from Moses face must have been extraordinary. Several translations tell us that his face emitted “beams” of light that shone so brightly that the people were afraid to approach him. The Hebrew […]
JANUARY 7, 2022 Exodus 34:29-30 Now it was so, when Moses came down from Mount Sinai (and the two tablets of the Testimony were in Moses’ hand when he came down from the mountain), that Moses did not know that the skin of his face shone while he talked with Him. So when Aaron and all the children of Israel […]
JANUARY 6, 2022 Exodus 34:23-24 “Three times in the year all your men shall appear before the Lord, the Lord God of Israel. For I will cast out the nations before you and enlarge your borders; neither will any man covet your land when you go up to appear before the Lord your God three times in the year.” The three […]
JANUARY 5, 2022 Exodus 34:19 All that open the womb are Mine, and every male firstborn among your livestock, whether ox or sheep. There is, obviously, something very important about the firstborn, biblically speaking. If there was any doubt about that, this verse makes it very clear: among the children of Israel, every firstborn male — whether man or […]
JANUARY 4, 2022 Exodus 34:15 “…Lest you make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land, and they play the harlot with their gods and make sacrifice to their gods, and one of them invites you and you eat of his sacrifice.” I have always found it interesting that so many missteps and failures on the part of God’s […]
January 3, 2022 Exodus 34:15 “…Lest you make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land, and they play the harlot with their gods and make sacrifice to their gods, and one of them invites you and you eat of his sacrifice.” There are very important biblical concepts to consider in this verse. First of all, notice that God […]
January 2, 2022 Exodus 34:14 For you shall worship no other god, for the Lord, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God. As we discussed yesterday, God regards His people as His betrothed and interacts with them accordingly. He makes great promises to us — promises to provide and protect. As for us, we are asked to love Him with all of […]
January 1, 2022 Exodus 34:14 For you shall worship no other god, for the Lord, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God. When we think of jealousy, it tends to be in a negative way; typically, jealousy is something that betrays human frailty and often leads to destructive behavior. It was jealousy that prompted Cain to lure his brother into a field […]
DECEMBER 31, 2021 Exodus 34:11-12 Behold, I am driving out from before you the Amorite and the Canaanite and the Hittite and the Perizzite and the Hivite and the Jebusite. Take heed to yourself, lest you make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land where you are going, lest it be a snare in your midst. […]
DECEMBER 30, 2021 Exodus 34:10 And He said: “Behold, I make a covenant. Before all your people I will do marvels such as have not been done in all the earth, nor in any nation; and all the people among whom you are shall see the work of the Lord. For it is an awesome thing that I will do with you.” In […]
DECEMBER 29, 2021 Exodus 34:8-9 So Moses made haste and bowed his head toward the earth, and worshiped. Then he said, “If now I have found grace in Your sight, O Lord, let my Lord, I pray, go among us, even though we are a stiff-necked people; and pardon our iniquity and our sin, and take us as Your inheritance.” I have long […]
DECEMBER 28, 2021 Exodus 34:6-7 And the Lord passed before him and proclaimed, “The Lord, the Lord God, merciful and gracious, long suffering, and abounding in goodness and truth, keeping mercy for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, by no means clearing the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children and the children’s children to the third and the fourth generation.” As […]
