EXODUS 33:19 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And he said, I will make all my goodness pass before thee, and I will proclaim the name of the Lord before thee; and will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and will shew mercy on whom I will shew mercy.”
And the Lord said: I will cause all my goodness to pass before you, and I will proclaim my name, the Lord, in your presence. I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion. God's answer to Moses' request to see His glory is the proclamation of His goodness and His name. The glory Moses asks to see is not a visual spectacle but a moral reality: all my goodness passing before him, the divine name proclaimed, the freedom of divine mercy declared. Paul quotes the final clause in Romans 9:15 as the foundational statement of divine sovereignty in mercy. The proclamation of God's freedom in mercy is the answer to Moses' request to see God's glory: glory and goodness are the same thing.
