Adam Clarke's Bible Commentary Verse 9. O Lord, let my Lord, I pray thee, go among us] The original is not hwhy Jehovah, but ynda Adonai in both these places, and seems to refer particularly to the Angel of the Covenant, the Messiah. See the note on "Gen. xv. 8".
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 5-9 - The Lord descended by some open token of his presence and manifestatio of his glory in a cloud, and thence proclaimed his NAME; that is, the perfections and character which are denoted by the name JEHOVAH. The Lord God is merciful; ready to forgive the sinner, and to relieve the needy. Gracious; kind, and ready to bestow undeserved benefits Long-suffering; slow to anger, giving time for repentance, onl punishing when it is needful. He is abundant in goodness and truth even sinners receive the riches of his bounty abundantly, though the abuse them. All he reveals is infallible truth, all he promises is in faithfulness. Keeping mercy for thousands; he continually shows merc to sinners, and has treasures, which cannot be exhausted, to the end of time. Forgiving iniquity, and transgression, and sin; his mercy an goodness reach to the full and free forgiveness of sin. And will by n means clear the guilty; the holiness and justice of God are part of his goodness and love towards all his creatures. In Christ's sufferings the Divine holiness and justice are fully shown, and the evil of sin is made known. God's forgiving mercy is always attended by his converting sanctifying grace. None are pardoned but those who repent and forsak the allowed practice of every sin; nor shall any escape, who abuse neglect, or despise this great salvation. Moses bowed down, an worshipped reverently. Every perfection in the name of God, the believer may plead with Him for the forgiveness of his sins, the makin holy of his heart, and the enlargement of the Redeemer's kingdom.
