This site's exposition
when the people heard these evil tidings
on Exodus 33:4-6
The people mourn at the withdrawal, and the sign of the mourning is that no man puts on his ornaments. God's own order at verse 5 leaves the outcome open, put off thy ornaments from thee, that I may know what to do unto thee, so the stripping is a posture taken before a decision rather than after one. The gold that went into the calf at 32:2 and 32:3 comes off here, and the same kind of freewill gold is brought for the tabernacle at 35:22. Verse 6 sets the scene by mount Horeb, the mountain of the bush at 3:1 and of the water from the rock at 17:6.
