Context — The LORD Renews the Covenant

8Moses immediately bowed down to the ground and worshiped. 9“O Lord,” he said, “if I have indeed found favor in Your sight, my Lord, please go with us. Although this is a stiff-necked people, forgive our iniquity and sin, and take us as Your inheritance.”

10And the LORD said, “Behold, I am making a covenant. Before all your people I will perform wonders that have never been done in any nation in all the world. All the people among whom you live will see the LORD’s work, for it is an awesome thing that I am doing with you.

11Observe what I command you this day. I will drive out before you the Amorites, Canaanites, Hittites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites. 12Be careful not to make a treaty with the inhabitants of the land you are entering, lest they become a snare in your midst.

Exodus 34:10 Summary

[In Exodus 34:10, God promises to make a covenant with His people and perform wonders before them, demonstrating His power and presence. This is similar to the covenant God made with Abraham in Genesis 15:18 and 17:1-14. God wants to show His people and the world that He is the one true God, and He will do great and awesome things to accomplish this. As we read this verse, we can remember that God is a God of wonder and awe, and He desires to do great things in and through us, as seen in Jeremiah 29:11, where He says He has plans to prosper us and give us hope for the future.]

Frequently Asked Questions

What does it mean for God to make a covenant with His people?

A covenant is a solemn promise or agreement between God and His people, as seen in Exodus 34:10, where God says, 'I am making a covenant.' This is similar to the covenant God made with Abraham in Genesis 15:18 and 17:1-14, where He promised to be their God and they would be His people.

What kind of wonders is God talking about in this verse?

The wonders God is referring to are the miraculous works He will perform before the people, demonstrating His power and presence, as promised in Exodus 34:10, and as seen in other parts of the Bible, such as the parting of the Red Sea in Exodus 14:13-31.

Why does God say He will perform these wonders 'before all your people'?

God wants to demonstrate His power and presence to all the people, so they will know He is the one true God, as stated in Exodus 34:10, and as seen in Deuteronomy 4:34, where it says God did great and awesome wonders before the people.

What is the significance of God's work being 'an awesome thing'?

The fact that God's work is 'an awesome thing' emphasizes the greatness and majesty of God, as seen in Psalm 111:9, where it says God's works are great and done with majesty and beauty, and in Isaiah 40:28, where it says God's understanding is unsearchable.

Gill's Exposition on Exodus 34:10

And he said, behold, I will make a covenant,.... Or renew the covenant before made the people had broke; which on his part was, that he would, as Moses had entreated, forgive the sin of the people,

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Exodus 34:10

And he said, If now I have found grace in thy sight, O Lord, let my Lord, I pray thee, go among us; for it is a stiffnecked people; and pardon our iniquity and our sin, and take us for thine inheritance.

Matthew Poole's Commentary on Exodus 34:10

Behold, I make a covenant, i.e. I do hereby renew my covenant with thy people which they had violated and voided by their sin. But the shortness of the phrase, there being no mention here of any with whom this covenant is made or renewed, and the following words, make it more probable that this covenant is nothing but a solemn promise or engagement that God will do the thing which here follows. And the word covenant is oft used for a mere promise, as , &c.; 25:12. It is a terrible thing that I will do with thee; either, 1. By thy ministry, as that phrase is sometimes used, as . Or, 2. In the midst of thee, i.e. of thy people, as , before thee, i.e. before thy people. This I prefer, because the next verse explains this of such things as were not done by Moses’ s ministry, nor in his time, but afterwards.

Trapp's Commentary on Exodus 34:10

Exodus 34:10 And he said, Behold, I make a covenant: before all thy people I will do marvels, such as have not been done in all the earth, nor in any nation: and all the people among which thou [art] shall see the work of the LORD: for it [is] a terrible thing that I will do with thee.Ver. 10. Behold, I make a covenant,] i.e., I re-establish it with this backsliding people. God receiveth returning sinners with much sweetness "He retaineth not his anger for ever, because he delighteth in mercy." His mercy, to us, is greater than his justice, though in themselves they are equal, yea, the same. I will do marvels.] See this fulfilled and recorded in Joshua 10:12-13.

Ellicott's Commentary on Exodus 34:10

(10) I make a covenant—i.e., “I lay down afresh the terms of the covenant which I am content to make with Israel. I will go with them, and drive out the nations before them (Exodus 34:11), and work miracles on their behalf (Exodus 34:10), and enlarge their borders (Exodus 34:24), and prevent their enemies from desiring their land at the festival seasons (Exodus 34:24); they, on their part, must ‘observe that which I command them this day.’” The “command” given included the moral law, as laid down in the Ten Commandments (Exodus 34:28), and a summary of the chief points contained in the “Book of the Covenant,” which must be regarded as a re-publication and re-authorisation of that book. Marvels, such as have not been done in all the earth—e.g., the drying up of Jordan (Joshua 3:16-17), the falling down of the walls of Jericho (Joshua 6:20), the destruction of the army of the five kings by hailstones (Joshua 10:11), and the like. A terrible thing.—Comp. Deuteronomy 10:21; Psalms 106:22; Psalms 145:6. God is “terrible” to the enemies of His people.

Adam Clarke's Commentary on Exodus 34:10

Verse 10. I will do marvels] This seems to refer to what God did in putting them in possession of the land of Canaan, causing the walls of Jericho to fall down; making the sun and moon to stand still, c. And thus God made his covenant with them binding himself to put them in possession of the promised land, and binding them to observe the precepts laid down in the following verses, from Exodus 34:11-26 inclusive.

Cambridge Bible on Exodus 34:10

10–28. The (re-)establishment of the covenant, with the laws upon which it is based. The passage belongs in the main to E; but it has probably been enlarged in parts with hortatory additions by the compiler. We have met with some such additions before, in Exodus 20:22 to Exodus 23:33; and they are found elsewhere also in connexion with laws, as in Leviticus 18:1-5; Leviticus 18:24-29; Leviticus 20:22-24 (H), and Deuteronomy 12-26 passim.

Barnes' Notes on Exodus 34:10

Marvels - Explained in the following verse. Compare 2 Samuel 7:23; Psalms 77:14.

Whedon's Commentary on Exodus 34:10

10. Before all thy people I will do marvels — This refers to the unparalleled displays of divine help during the journey to Palestine, at the crossing of the Jordan, and during the conquest and settlement of the land of promise.
