Matthew Poole and continuators on Exodus 33:13

13 Now therefore I pray thee, If I have found grace in thy sight, shew me now thy way , that I may know thee , that I may find grace in thy sight, and consider that this nation is thy people

The course and manner of thy dealings with men, and particularly thy purpose and will concerning me and thy people, and the method which thou wilt chuse for the fulfilling of thy promise, and the course which thou wouldst have me take, and the way by which I shall conduct thy people to the promised Land.

(i. e.) Thy mind herein: men are said to know God when they know his mind and will: or, that I may experimentally know thee to be what thou hast promised thou wilt be to me and to thy people: Or rather, that I may thereby know the[illegible: 1+ letters], namely that I shall find grace in thy sight, as it follows, that I may be assured that thou wilt be reconciled to and present with me and thy people.

Both by thy own choice and purpose and promise to their parents, and by their recognition of thee for their God, and their returning to thee again.
