Within Scripture, we have many instances of God speaking directly to men to reveal Himself and His will. But here in Exod 34, we have God’s own definition of Himself. In verses 6 and 7 of this text, God Himself proclaims 7 attributes of His divine being in answer to Moses’ request to behold His glory. From this, we learn that encountering God’s glory is not so much about what we ‘see’ as much as it is about how we know Him and reverence Him and love Him.
