De 9:16 Jud 2:17
SEV Biblia
Presto se han apartado del camino que yo les mandé, y se han hecho un becerro de fundición, y lo han adorado, y le han ofrecido sacrificios, y han dicho: Israel, estos son tus dioses, que te sacaron de la tierra de Egipto.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 7-14 - God says to Moses, that the Israelites had corrupted themselves. Sin is the corruption of the sinner, and it is a self-corruption; every man i tempted when he is drawn aside of his own lust. They had turned asid out of the way. Sin is a departing from the way of duty into a by-path They soon forgot God's works. He sees what they cannot discover, nor i any wickedness of the world hid from him. We could not bear to see the thousandth part of that evil which God sees every day. God expresse the greatness of his just displeasure, after the manner of men wh would have prayer of Moses could save them from ruin; thus he was type of Christ, by whose mediation alone, God would reconcile the worl to himself. Moses pleads God's glory. The glorifying God's name, as it ought to be our first petition, and it is so in the Lord's prayer, s it ought to be our great plea. And God's promises are to be our plea in prayer; for what he has promised he is able to perform. See the power of prayer. In answer to the prayers of Moses, God showed his purpose of sparing the people, as he had before seemed determined of their destruction; which change of the outward discovery of his purpose, is called repenting of the evil.
