Exodus shows us that God is a God of mercy and grace. He is patient, full of loving-kindness, faithful, and shows loving-kindness to thousands. He forgives iniquity, rebellion and sin. God is the one who reveals himself with a jealous love for his people. In covenantal relationship with his people, God is defined primarily as one who allows reconciliation and restitution because of one who interceded for the people of God and his disposition toward his people is one finally of grace, kindness and mercy. The "no" of God's judgment is real and has a sting but is never his final word. The "yes" of his mercy and grace is his final word.
