Declaration of God's Glory

Exodus 32-34 covers one of the worst times in Israel's history. They violate God's 2nd commandment just over 5 weeks after they covenanted with God to be His people. God responds in mercy and judgment. Moses, the leader of these rebellious people, desire confirmation that God is still with him and the people. He asks for a display of God's glory. Moses received a verbal display of God's glory. God especially magnifies His goodness and faithfulness to His people in the compact statement found in Exodus 34:6-7
