God provides a list of His attributes in Exodus 34:6-7, offering a unique opportunity to understand how He describes Himself. Before revealing His attributes, God established four protective barriers for Moses, demonstrating that while He desires to reveal Himself, our finite nature requires protection from His full glory.
• Understanding God's attributes can be challenging without His direct revelation
• The context begins with the Israelites' idolatry with the golden calf in Exodus 32
• Moses interceded for the people after God threatened to destroy them
• Moses requested to see God's glory after pitching the tabernacle outside camp
• God created four "firewalls" to protect Moses during the divine encounter:
• Hiding Moses behind a rock
• Covering Moses with His hand
• Allowing only a glimpse of His "back"
• Descending in a cloud to filter His radiance
• God's partial revelation is for our protection, not to frustrate us
• Tomorrow's episode will explore God's self-described attributes in Exodus 34:6-7
