Exodus 32:9-10
Summary for Exod 32:9-10: 32:9-10 a God was apparently prepared to disown his people, since they had broken their covenant with him.32:10 b Now leave me alone: This apparent command was in fact an invitation to Moses to intercede for his people. Although the people deserved destruction, God was willing not to destroy them if Moses continued to stand before him as an intercessor.
• I will make you, Moses, into a great nation: If Moses were willing, God would start over again, abandoning the rest of the children of Abraham and beginning now with the children of Moses. This was apparently a test of Moses’ understanding of God.
