33:5For11 the Lord had said to Moses, “Tell the Israelites, ‘You are a stiff-necked people. If I went up among you for a moment,12 I might destroy you. Now take off your ornaments,13 that I may know14 what I should do to you.’ ”15
Footnotes
- 11 The verse simply begins “And Yahweh said.” But it is clearly meant to be explanatory for the preceding action of the people.
- 12 The construction is formed with a simple imperfect in the first half and a perfect tense with vav (ו) in the second half. Heb “[in] one moment I will go up in your midst and I will destroy you.” The verse is certainly not intended to say that God was about to destroy them. That, plus the fact that he has announced he will not go in their midst, leads most commentators to take this as a conditional clause: “If I were to do such and such, then.…”
- 13 The Hebrew text also has “from on you.”
- 14 The form is the cohortative with a vav (ו) following the imperative; it therefore expresses the purpose or result: “strip off … that I may know.” The call to remove the ornaments must have been perceived as a call to show true repentance for what had happened. If they repented, then God would know how to deal with them.
- 15 This last clause begins with the interrogative “what,” but it is used here as an indirect interrogative. It introduces a noun clause, the object of the verb “know.”
