• Furthermore, he would know God’s way, that he might know Him, that he might find grace in His sight. And then he brings the people before God. As everything now depended on Moses, as mediator, he presents his own muse first; and then he introduces the people. “Consider,” he touchingly prays, “that this nation is Thy people” (vs. 13). All this is exceedingly beautiful, as it is also full of interest and instruction. It was not enough for Moses that he had been divinely appointed to lead Israel, and that an angel should go before him in the path, but he desired to know, not his but God’s way through the wilderness, that he might also know Him. He could not be satisfied short of knowing God and God’s way—if he were to lead up the people. (“Apostasy, Meditation and Restoration: Exodus 32-34” by E. Dennett)
