Notes

Exodus 33:8–11

would stand … stand up and bow down: The people considered it amazing that Moses spoke directly to God, "face to face" (33:11).

Exodus 33:7–11

The way God communicated with his people before the completion of the tabernacle is likely described here. This helps explain the events recorded in 33:1–6 and 33:12–23.
