They greatly err who in this sense quote "Keeping mercy for thousands, forgiving iniquity, transgression, and sin," and stop there.

The veil is rent; and we walk in the light as He is in the light. His relationship was with them as they then were, redeemed from Egypt by His power and brought to Himself indeed, but only after an outward sort, neither born of God, nor justified. How blessed for us! I sent hornets ahead of you, and it drove them out before you[just like] the two Amorite kingsnot by your sword or by your bow. The precept joined with this promise is that they be observant of, and obedient to, this angel whom God would send before them (Exodus 23:21; Exodus 23:21): "Beware of him, and obey his voice in every thing; provoke him not in any thing, for it is at your peril if you do, he will visit your iniquity."

It must not be of hewn stone, as their work would profane it; neither must the Israelite go up by steps, as thereby his nakedness would be manifested. From this moment a new plea is urged: the faultiness of the people is used as a reason why God should go up the very reason which righteousness made a ground for refusing to go with them, lest His anger should burn against such a stiff-necked people.
