Let me alone! - Stop me not by thy intercession. I brake them before your eyes - Not by an unbridled passion, but in zeal for God's honour, and by the direction of God's spirit, to signify to tine people, that the covenant between God and them contained in those tables was broken and they were now cast out of God's favour, and could expect nothing from him but fiery indignation. I fell down - In a way of humiliation and supplication, on your behalf. Into the brook - That there might be no monument or remembrance of it left. I fell down forty days - The same as were mentioned before, Deu 9:18, as appears by comparing this with Exodus, where this history is more fully related, and where this is said to be done twice only. Through thy greatness - Through the greatness of thy power, which appeared most eminently in that work. Thy servants - That is, the promise made and sworn to thy servants. Thy people - Whom thou hast chosen to thyself out of all mankind, and publickly owned them for thine, and hast purchased and redeemed them from the Egyptians.
