| Exodus 32:11 | But Moses besought the Lord his God, saying: *Why, O Lord, is thy indignation enkindled against thy people, whom thou hast brought out of the land of Egypt, with great power, and with a mighty hand? Numbers 14:13.; Psalm 105:23. | Why, etc. Calvin here accuses Moses of arrogance, in prescribing laws to God's justice. But St. Jerome (ep. ad Gaud.) commends his charity and "prayer, which hindered God's power." (Worthington) |
