Pulpit Commentary
Pulpit CommentaryVerses 9-26. - THE RENEWAL OF THE COVENANT. Dazed, as it would seem, by the splendour of the vision which he had beheld, Moses forgot that God had already pledged himself to renew the covenant, and lead the people in person to Canaan. In his forgetfulness, he once more set himself to intercede with God on their behalf, and besought him - 1. That he would go up with them; 2. That he would pardon them; and 3.

Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English ReadersTHE COVENANT RENEWED, AND THE DECALOGUE A SECOND TIME GIVEN.(9) If now, I have found grace in thy sight.--Rather, Since now, &c. The evidences of God's favour towards him--which Moses had now experienced, emboldened him to prefer fresh requests on behalf of the people. God has promised to go up in the midst of them; will He not also promise to forgive their iniquity and sin if they offend Him in the way, and permanently to attach them to Himself by making them "His inheritance?" God does not directly answer these prayers, but indirectly accepts them by renewing His covenant with Israel (Exodus 34:10; Exodus 34:27).
