The "goodness" of God encompasses His moral excellence, kindness, and benevolence. In the context of Exodus, this revelation comes after the Israelites' sin with the golden calf, emphasizing God's grace and forgiveness. The act of passing before Moses signifies a theophany, a visible manifestation of God, which is a rare and significant event in the Old Testament. This moment foreshadows the ultimate revelation of God's goodness in Jesus Christ, who embodies divine grace and truth (<a href="/john/1-14.htm">John 1:14</a>).<p><b>the LORD replied,</b><br>The use of "the LORD" (YHWH) underscores the covenantal relationship between God and Israel. This name, revealed to Moses at the burning bush (<a href="/exodus/3-14.htm">Exodus 3:14</a>), signifies God's eternal, self-existent nature and His faithfulness to His promises. The dialogue between God and Moses reflects the intimate relationship they share, with Moses acting as an intercessor for the people.<p><b>and I will proclaim My name—the LORD—in your presence.</b><br>Proclaiming God's name is an act of revealing His nature and attributes. In ancient Near Eastern culture, a name was more than a label; it represented the essence and character of a person. By proclaiming His name, God is affirming His identity and His covenantal faithfulness. This proclamation is a precursor to the fuller revelation of God's character in the New Testament, where Jesus reveals the Father (<a href="/john/17-6.htm">John 17:6</a>).<p><b>I will have mercy on whom I have mercy,</b><br>This statement emphasizes God's sovereign will in dispensing mercy. It reflects the biblical theme that God's grace is not earned but given according to His divine purpose. This phrase is later quoted by the Apostle Paul in <a href="/romans/9-15.htm">Romans 9:15</a> to illustrate God's sovereign choice in salvation history. The concept of divine mercy is central to the Christian understanding of salvation, where God's grace is extended to humanity through Jesus Christ.<p><b>and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion.</b><br>Compassion, like mercy, is an attribute of God that denotes His deep love and care for His creation. In the historical context, God's compassion is evident in His continued guidance and provision for Israel despite their rebellion. This phrase reinforces the idea that God's actions are based on His character rather than human merit. The ultimate expression of God's compassion is found in the life and sacrifice of Jesus, who embodies God's love for the world (<a href="/john/3-16.htm">John 3:16</a>).<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_lord.htm">The LORD (Yahweh)</a></b><br>The self-existent, eternal God who reveals His character and sovereignty to Moses.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/m/moses.htm">Moses</a></b><br>The leader of the Israelites, chosen by God to deliver His people from Egypt and guide them through the wilderness.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/m/mount_sinai.htm">Mount Sinai</a></b><br>The place where Moses meets with God and receives the Law, a significant location for divine revelation.<br><br>4. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_israelites.htm">The Israelites</a></b><br>God's chosen people, who are in a covenant relationship with Him and are journeying to the Promised Land.<br><br>5. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_tent_of_meeting.htm">The Tent of Meeting</a></b><br>A place where Moses would meet with God, symbolizing God's presence among His people.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/g/god's_sovereignty_and_mercy.htm">God's Sovereignty and Mercy<b><a href="/topical/g/god's_sovereignty_and_mercy.htm"><br>God's declaration of mercy and compassion underscores His sovereign will.
