Book of Exodus - Chapter 32 - Verse 33

32:33
And the LORD said unto Moses, Whosoever hath sinned against me, him will I blot out of my book.

Meaning

In this verse, the LORD is speaking to Moses about those who have sinned against Him. The imagery of being "blotted out of my book" is a powerful symbol of being excluded or removed from God's favor. In biblical times, books were used to record important information, such as lists of names or records of deeds. The idea of being blotted out of a book signifies being erased or forgotten. This verse serves as a warning to those who have sinned and turned away from God, that they risk being excluded from His kingdom and His blessings. It is a reminder of the consequences of disobedience and the importance of repentance and seeking forgiveness from the Lord. It emphasizes the seriousness of sin and the need for true obedience and faithfulness to God. As readers reflect on this verse, they are encouraged to examine their own lives and ensure that they are living in accordance with God's will, so as not to be "blotted out" from His book.
