Matthew Poole and continuators on Exodus 34:10

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 amongst which thou art, shall see the work of the LORD: for it is a terrible thing that I will do with thee .

(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 fo[illegible: 1+ letters] a meer promise, as Gen. 9. 9. &c. Levit. 24. 8. Numb. 18. 19. and 25. 12.

Either 1. By thy Ministery, as that phrase is sometimes used, as 1 Cor. 15. 10. Or 2. In the midst of thee, i. e. of thy people, as ver. 11. 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 his ministery, nor in his time, but afterwards.
