Exod. 23. v. 20, 21, 22. Behold I send an Angel before thee to keep thee in the way, and § 16 to bring thee into the place that I have prepared. Beware of him, and obey his voice, provoke him not, for he will not pardon your transgressions, for my name is in him. But if thou shalt indeed obey his voice, and do all that I speak, then will I be an enemy unto thine enemies, and an adversary unto thine adversaries. The Angel here promised, is he that went in the midst of the People in the Wilderness, whose Glory appeared and was manifested among them. And moreover another Angel is promised unto them, v. 23. For mine Angel shall go before thee, and bring thee into the Amorites, and I will cut them off; It is a ministering Angel to execute the Judgements and vengeance of God upon the enemies of his people. And that this Angel of v. 23. is another from that of v. 20. appears from Chap. 33. v. 2, 3. compared with v. 13, 14, 15, 16. of the same Chapter, v. 2. I ⟨p. 120⟩will send an Angel before thee, and I will drive out the Canaanite and the Amorite; which is the Promise; and the Angel of Chap. 23. v. 23. But saith he, v. 3. I will not go up in the middest of thee; which he had promised to do in and by the Angel of v. 20, 21. in whom his name was. This the people esteemed evil tidings, and mourned because of it, v. 4. Now God had not promised to go in the middest of them any otherwise than by the Angel mentioned; which both Moses and the People were abundantly satisfied withal. But whereas he here renews his Promise of the Ministry and Assistance of the Angel of v. 23. yet he denies them his own presence, in the Angel of v. 20. For which Moses reneweth his request, v. 13. whereunto God replies, My presence shall go with thee, v. 14. concerning which Presence or Face of God, or which Angel of his Presence, we must a little more particularly enquire.
