DAY 33 OF 40

EXODUS 33

MOSES + THE ISRAELITES CONTINUE TOWARDS THE PROMISED LAND

God tells Moses that it is time for him and the Israelites to leave Mount Sinai and that the land of Canaan will start to be cleared out for the Israelites.

Moses meets with God again, but this time in the tent of meeting. God previously met with Moses face to face, but does not this time. Moses boldly requests to see God’s face but is given only a glimpse of God's presence and majesty. God does not fully reveal Himself to Moses, but His evident nearness reinforces the importance of God's presence and favor in his life and the lives of the Israelites.

God comforts Moses, telling him that he knows him by name and that he has found favor in God’s sight. Moses does not want to continue without God’s presence, knowing His nearness sets the Israelites apart as God’s chosen people.

STUDY QUESTIONS

In verses 14–15, what did God promise the Israelites? Was Moses willing to continue without God’s presence? How can we practice abiding in God's presence?
