וְאוּלָ֗ם בַּעֲב֥וּר זֹאת֙ הֶעֱמַדְתִּ֔יךָ בַּעֲב֖וּר הַרְאֹתְךָ֣ אֶת־כֹּחִ֑י וּלְמַ֛עַן סַפֵּ֥ר שְׁמִ֖י בְּכָל־הָאָֽרֶץ׃
Tetapi justru karena inilah Aku membiarkan engkau tetap hidup: untuk memperlihatkan kekuatan-Ku kepadamu, dan supaya nama-Ku dimasyhurkan di seluruh bumi.

Rashbam
NEVERTHELESS I HAVE SPARED YOU FOR THIS PURPOSE: IN ORDER TO SHOW YOU MY POWER, ETC. To inform you of your foolishness, in your saying (5:2), "I do not know Adonai.
Sforno
