This phrase introduces the renewal of the covenant between God and Israel after the incident of the golden calf. A covenant in biblical terms is a solemn agreement between God and His people, often involving promises and obligations. This renewal signifies God's mercy and willingness to continue His relationship with Israel despite their previous disobedience. The concept of covenant is central to the biblical narrative, beginning with God's covenant with Noah, continuing with Abraham, and later with David, ultimately finding fulfillment in the New Covenant through Jesus Christ (<a href="/jeremiah/31-31.htm">Jeremiah 31:31-34</a>, <a href="/luke/22-20.htm">Luke 22:20</a>).Before all your people I will perform wonders The wonders refer to miraculous acts that God will perform to demonstrate His power and presence among His people. These acts serve as signs of divine authority and are meant to inspire faith and obedience. Historically, the wonders performed during the Exodus, such as the plagues in Egypt and the parting of the Red Sea, were unparalleled demonstrations of God's power. These wonders foreshadow the miracles of Jesus, who performed signs and wonders to reveal His divine nature and mission (<a href="/john/2-11.htm">John 2:11</a>, <a href="/acts/2-22.htm">Acts 2:22</a>).that have never been done in any nation in all the world. This emphasizes the uniqueness of God's actions on behalf of Israel, setting them apart from other nations. The historical context highlights the distinctiveness of Israel's relationship with God, who chose them as His people (<a href="/deuteronomy/7-6.htm">Deuteronomy 7:6</a>). The phrase underscores the unprecedented nature of God's intervention in human history, which is a recurring theme in the Bible, culminating in the incarnation of Jesus Christ, an event unparalleled in its significance (<a href="/john/1-14.htm">John 1:14</a>).All the people among whom you live will see the LORD’s work, This indicates that God's actions will be visible not only to Israel but also to surrounding nations. The visibility of God's work serves as a testimony to His power and sovereignty, intended to draw others to acknowledge Him. In the biblical narrative, the surrounding nations often witnessed God's mighty acts, leading to fear and respect for Israel's God (<a href="/joshua/2-9.htm">Joshua 2:9-11</a>). This foreshadows the Great Commission, where the works of God through Christ are to be proclaimed to all nations (<a href="/matthew/28-19.htm">Matthew 28:19-20</a>).for it is an awesome thing that I am doing with you. The term "awesome" conveys a sense of reverence and fear, reflecting the overwhelming nature of God's deeds. The historical and cultural context of the ancient Near East often involved gods who were distant and capricious, but the God of Israel is actively involved with His people, performing acts that inspire awe. This anticipates the ultimate act of God in the New Testament, where the incarnation, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ are the most awe-inspiring events in salvation history (<a href="/philippians/2-6.htm">Philippians 2:6-11</a>).<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <a href="/topical/t/the_lord.htm">The LORD (Yahweh)</a> The covenant-making God of Israel, who reveals His power and faithfulness through miraculous deeds. 2. <a href="/topical/m/moses.htm">Moses</a> The leader of the Israelites, who acts as the mediator between God and the people. 3. <a href="/topical/t/the_israelites.htm">The Israelites</a> The chosen people of God, recipients of the covenant and witnesses to God's wonders. 4. <a href="/topical/t/the_covenant.htm">The Covenant</a> A divine agreement initiated by God, emphasizing His commitment to His people and their unique relationship with Him. 5. <a href="/topical/w/wonders.htm">Wonders</a> Miraculous acts performed by God, demonstrating His power and setting Israel apart from other nations.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><a href="/topical/g/god's_faithfulness_in_covenant.htm">God's Faithfulness in Covenant</a> God initiates and maintains His covenant with His people, demonstrating His unwavering faithfulness. <a href="/topical/t/the_power_of_god's_wonders.htm">The Power of God's Wonders</a> God's miraculous works serve as a testament to His power and a means to reveal His glory to the nations. <a href="/topical/t/the_unique_relationship_with_god.htm">The Unique Relationship with God</a> As recipients of God's covenant, believers are called to live in a way that reflects their unique relationship with Him. <a href="/topical/w/witnessing_to_the_nations.htm">Witnessing to the Nations</a> God's wonders are not only for the benefit of His people but also serve as a witness to the surrounding nations of His sovereignty. <a href="/topical/a/anticipation_of_greater_works.htm">Anticipation of Greater Works</a> The wonders of the Old Covenant point forward to the greater works accomplished through Jesus Christ in the New Covenant.<div class="vheading2">Lists and Questions</div><a href="/top10/lessons_from_exodus_34.htm">Top 10 Lessons from Exodus 34</a> <a href="/q/evidence_of_exodus_34_10_marvels.htm">(Exodus 34:10) Is there any historical or archeological evidence that God performed the marvels described here in front of the Israelites? </a> <a href="/q/how_does_a_theologian_differ_from_a_theologist.htm">What truths does 'Unveiled Face' reveal about identity?</a> <a href="/q/why_do_exodus_34_and_20_differ.htm">(Exodus 34:1) Why does this second set of commandments differ from those in Exodus 20, and which version should be considered authoritative? </a> <a href="/q/why_does_god_swear_by_himself.htm">If God is omnipotent, why does He need to swear by Himself to carry out judgment (Amos 6:8)? </a><a name="commentary" id="commentary"></a><div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/ellicott/exodus/34.htm">Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers</a></div>(10) I make a covenant--i.e., "I lay down afresh the terms of the covenant which I am content to make with Israel.
