Exodus 33:3

That thou mayst enter into the land that floweth with milk and honey. For I will not go up with thee, *because thou art a stiff-necked people; lest I destroy thee in the way.

Exodus 32:9.; Deuteronomy 9:13

I will not go: "in majesty" (Chaldean) and "brightness," Arabic. The angel shall go in his own name, and shall not perform such great miracles. My tabernacle shall be removed to a respectful distance, lest, not being able to endure the barefaced impiety of the people, I slay you in my fury. God addresses Moses, as the representative of the nation, (Menochius) and adopts the language of men, appearing as a king, who cannot bear to be insulted to his face. (Haydock)
