The word elohim, which is rendered God, in the singular, eloah, and in Arabic allah, is derived from the Arabic alaha, he worshipped, adored, was struck with astonishment, fear, or terror, and hence, he adored with sacred honour and veneration: it also signifies, he succoured, liberated, kept in safety, or defended. Here we learn that elohim denotes the sole object of adoration; the perfections of whose nature must astonish all who contemplate them, and fill with horror all who rebel against him; that consequently he must be worshipped with reverence and religious fear; and that every sincere worshipper may expect help in all his weaknesses, etc., freedom from the power, guilt, and consequences of sin, and support and defence to the uttermost.a jealous God34:14 visiting34:7; Jeremiah 32:18; Daniel 9:4-9; Matthew 23:35, 23:36; Romans 11:28, 11:29ReciprocalLeviticus 26:1 - Ye shall; 26:39 - and also; Deuteronomy 28:18 - the fruit of thy body; 32:16 - provoked; 32:41 - them that hate; Judges 2:12 - bowed; 2 Kings 9:26 - I will requite; 10:6 - your master's sons; 2 Chronicles 19:2 - hate the Lord; Ezekiel 8:3 - provoketh; 16:45 - that loatheth; 18:19 - Why; John 15:24 - hated; Acts 7:43 - figures Verse 10showingIsaiah 1:16-19; Jeremiah 32:18; Daniel 9:4; Matthew 7:21-27; Galatians 5:6; 1 John 1:7 love meDeuteronomy 6:5, 6:6, 10:12, 10:13; John 14:15, 14:21-23, 15:14; Romans 8:28; James 1:25; 1 John 5:2, 5:3ReciprocalExodus 34:6 - merciful; 34:7 - Keeping; Deuteronomy 7:9 - which keepeth; Psalm 103:8 - merciful Verse 11Deuteronomy 6:13; Exodus 20:7; Leviticus 19:12; Psalm 139:20; Jeremiah 4:2; Matthew 5:33, 5:34; James 5:12ReciprocalProverbs 19:5 - unpunished; Ezekiel 17:19 - surely; Malachi 3:5 - the sorcerers Verse 12Exodus 20:8-11; Isaiah 56:6, 58:13ReciprocalGenesis 2:3 - blessed; Exodus 16:30 - General; 31:14 - keep; 34:21 - Six; 35:2 - Six days; Nehemiah 10:31 - the people; 13:22 - sanctify; Jeremiah 17:22 - neither do; Ezekiel 20:12 - I gave Verse 13Exodus 23:12, 35:2, 35:3; Ezekiel 20:12; Luke 13:14-16, 23:56ReciprocalExodus 16:26 - General; Leviticus 23:3 - General Verse 14the sabbathGenesis 2:2; Exodus 16:29, 16:30; Habakkuk 3:1 thy strangerNehemiah 13:15, 13:21 thy manservantExodus 23:12; Leviticus 25:44-46; Nehemiah 5:5ReciprocalExodus 20:10 - thy manservant; Deuteronomy 15:15 - General; 24:22 - General; 29:11 - stranger; Nehemiah 13:16 - men of Tyre; Mark 2:27 - General; 1 Corinthians 9:9 - Doth Verse 15rememberDeuteronomy 15:15, 16:12, 24:18-22; Isaiah 51:1, 51:2; Ephesians 2:11, 2:12 the LordDeuteronomy 5:6; Psalm 116:16; Isaiah 63:9; Luke 1:74, 1:75; Titus 2:14 throughDeuteronomy 4:34-37ReciprocalExodus 13:3 - Remember; 20:2 - out of the; 20:10 - thy manservant; Deuteronomy 6:21 - We were; 24:22 - General; 26:8 - the Lord; 2 Kings 17:36 - a stretched Verse 16HonourExodus 20:12; Leviticus 19:3; Matthew 15:4-6; Colossians 3:20 that thy daysDeuteronomy 4:40, 27:16; Ephesians 6:1-3ReciprocalDeuteronomy 2:29 - into the land; 5:29 - that it might; 6:2 - thy days; 11:9 - prolong; 11:21 - your days; 12:25 - that it; 25:15 - that thy days; 30:20 - thou mayest; 1 Kings 3:14 - I will lengthen; Proverbs 4:10 - the; Jeremiah 7:23 - that it; 27:5 - and have; 35:18 - Because; Malachi 1:6 - son; Matthew 19:18 - Thou shalt do; Mark 7:10 - Honour; 10:19 - commit; Luke 18:20 - Do not commit; Romans 13:9 - For this; Ephesians 6:3 - General Verse 17Exodus 20:13; Matthew 5:21, 5:22ReciprocalMalachi 3:5 - the sorcerers; James 2:11 - Do not commit Verse 18Exodus 20:14; Proverbs 6:32, 6:33; Matthew 5:27, 5:28; Luke 18:20; James 2:10, 2:11ReciprocalLeviticus 18:20 - General; Jeremiah 5:8 - every one Verse 19Exodus 20:15; Romans 13:9; Ephesians 4:28ReciprocalGenesis 44:8 - how then; Leviticus 19:11 - shall not; Psalm 106:3 - at all times; Habakkuk 1:7 - their judgment Verse 20Deuteronomy 19:16-21; Exodus 20:16, 23:1; 1 Kings 21:13; Proverbs 6:19, 19:5, 19:9; Malachi 3:5

God did appear in a sovereign and extraordinary manner; but it was for the instruction, direction, deliverance, and support of his people.

2. They saw the fire, the symbol of his presence, the appearances of which demonstrated it to be supernatural.

3. Notwithstanding God appeared so terrible, yet no person was destroyed; for he came not to destroy but to save.
