This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Exo_34:6 And the LORD passed by before him, and proclaimed, The LORD, The LORD God, merciful and gracious, longsuffering, and abundant in goodness and truth,
Ver. 6. The Lord, The Lord God. &c.] These glorious titles and attributes are those back parts of God. {Exo_33:23} None can see more than these and live: and we need see no more than these that we may live.
Longsuffering.] Heb., Wide of nostrils; not apt to snuff at small matters, but bearing with men’s evil manners. This Averroes, the atheist, made use as an argument against the providence of God, and to prove that he meddled with nothing below the moon, because of his slowness to anger.
In goodness and truth.] God’s goodness, though great, yet here and elsewhere it goes bounded with his truth.
