Exodus 34:7 (KJV)
Commentary on Exodus 34:7
God extends mercy to thousands (אֲלָפִים, alaphim) but visits iniquity to three or four generations—mercy outweighs judgment 250:1. Yet God 'will by no means clear the guilty' (נַקֵּה לֹא יְנַקֶּה, naqeh lo yenaqeh)—an emphatic Hebrew construction meaning judgment is certain. This tension between mercy and justice finds resolution only at Calvary, where God's righteousness and love meet (Ps 85:10). The three terms—עָוֹן (avon, iniquity), פֶּשַׁע (pesha, transgression), חַטָּאָה (chatta'ah, sin)—cover all categories of rebellion.
