In the context of <a href="/exodus/33.htm">Exodus 33</a>, Moses is interceding for the Israelites after the incident of the golden calf. The LORD's response highlights His willingness to engage with His chosen leader. This interaction is reminiscent of other instances where God speaks directly to His prophets, such as with Abraham in <a href="/genesis/18.htm">Genesis 18</a> and Elijah in <a href="/1_kings/19.htm">1 Kings 19</a>, underscoring the intimate relationship between God and His servants.<p><b>My Presence will go with you</b><br>The term "Presence" here is significant, often associated with the Hebrew word "panim," meaning face. It implies God's personal attention and favor. In the broader biblical narrative, God's presence is a source of guidance and protection, as seen in the pillar of cloud and fire that led the Israelites (<a href="/exodus/13-21.htm">Exodus 13:21-22</a>). This assurance of divine presence is a recurring theme, echoed in the New Testament with Jesus' promise in <a href="/matthew/28-20.htm">Matthew 28:20</a>, "I am with you always." It also foreshadows the indwelling of the Holy Spirit in believers, as described in <a href="/john/14-16.htm">John 14:16-17</a>.<p><b>and I will give you rest</b><br>The promise of rest is both immediate and eschatological. In the immediate context, it refers to the peace and security that God will provide as the Israelites journey to the Promised Land. Historically, this rest is linked to the land of Canaan, a place of settlement and divine blessing. Culturally, rest is a significant concept in the Hebrew tradition, associated with the Sabbath and God's rest after creation (<a href="/genesis/2-2.htm">Genesis 2:2-3</a>). Prophetically, this rest points to the ultimate rest found in Christ, as articulated in <a href="/hebrews/4-9.htm">Hebrews 4:9-10</a>, where believers are invited to enter God's rest through faith. This rest is not merely physical but spiritual, offering peace with God through Jesus Christ.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/m/moses.htm">Moses</a></b><br>The leader of the Israelites, chosen by God to lead His people out of Egypt.
