Certainly I will be with thee] So that thou needest not to fear either thine own Feeblenesse, or the Power of them, against whom I send thee. this shall be a token unto thee, &c.] Tokens and signes, given for assurance, doe usually goe before the thing whereof they are signes, or tokens, as Judg. 6. 37. 39. or are concomitant with them, as Luke 2:12. but here Moses having seene a miraculous signe of Gods especiall presence, and God having spoken unto him, and assuredly promised his presence with him, he had evidence &confirmation enough for the undertaking of his charge, but now he would have him to inlarge and stretch out his faith (beyond the assurance of his commission, and the good successe of it, in the deliverance of the people) to that, which was a consequent upon it, and did (in reason) presuppose it: to wit, the gratefull memorie of their deliverance, when God would appeare to him againe, and the people with him, at the Mountaine where then he was: and it would be meet for him, (at his returne) to have an especiall Memorandum, that the Lord was with him still, for his incouragement to undergoe the further conduct of his people to the Land of Canaan: and (in the meane time) he was pleased to give him full assurance of his powerfull presence with him, and assistance to him, by many precedent signes, and tokens, precedent to his contestation with the Tyrant, which had their place, before this service (now foretold) and favour promised, come to passe and thereof he giveth him (as a present earnest of more miracles to come) not onely this vision of the burning, but not burned bush, but other miraculous experiments; whereof see Chap. 4. vers. 3, 4.
