• An angel was to go before them for guidance and safe conduct. He is often referred to in this connection (Ex. 14:19; 33:2; Num. 20:16). The prophet Isaiah terms Him the angel of His (Jehovah’s) presence (Isa. 63:9). Who then was this angel? It is evident, both from this scripture and chapter 14, as well as from others, that divine attributes are attributed to Him. It is said for example here, “My name is in Him” (vs. 21). So in chapter 14, after being spoken of as an angel, He is identified with Jehovah (24th verse with 19th). It is the case also in Genesis 22, in connection with the sacrifice of Isaac (vss. 15-16). That He is divine is therefore clear; and the inference is thus justifiable (one that has been drawn by godly students of the Word in all ages) that in this angel we have no other than the Second Person of the Trinity, God the Son.

• {v.23-33} It will be seen that all these instructions contemplate the land rather than the wilderness. (“Judgments: Exodus 21-23” by E. Dennett)
