On this verse

Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

Being about to republish His law--the sin of the Israelites being forgiven and the deed of pardon about to be signed and sealed by renewing the terms of the former covenant--it was the most fitting time to proclaim the extent of the divine mercy which was to be displayed, not in the case of Israel only, but of all who offend.

Jamieson, Fausset & Brown· Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible, 1871reformed

His mercy is grace, free grace; this teaches us to be not only pitiful, but courteous, 1 Pet. iii. (3.) He is long-suffering. This is a branch of God's goodness which the wickedness of sinners gives occasion for; that of Israel had done so: they had tried his patience, and experienced it.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

Mercy entailed upon thousands of generations, even to those upon whom the ends of the world are come; nay, the line of it is drawn parallel with that of eternity itself. 6thly, He forgiveth iniquity, transgression and sin - Pardoning mercy is instanced in, because in that divine grace is most magnified, and because that it is that opens the door to all other gifts of grace.

John Wesley (NT Notes)· Explanatory Notes upon the Bible, 1765evangelical

YHWH proclaims his own Name/character ('merciful and gracious, slow to anger, abounding in steadfast love'); Jonah quotes it back near-verbatim. Most-reused divine self-revelation (also Joel 2:13, Ps 86:15, Neh 9:17).
