6. Moses and Aaron went from thepresence of the assembly<\/B>Here is a fresh ebullition of theuntamed and discontented spirit of the people. The leaders fled tothe precincts of the sanctuary, both as an asylum from the increasingfury of the highly excited rabble, and as their usual refuge inseasons of perplexity and danger, to implore the direction and aid ofGod.<\/P><\/p>\nFuente: Jamieson, Fausset and Brown’s Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible <\/b><\/i><\/h4>\n
And Moses and Aaron went from the presence of the assembly<\/strong>,…. Like fugitives, as Aben Ezra; they fled from them through fear, lest they should rise and fall upon them, and stone them, as their fathers were ready to do in a like case, Ex 17:4<\/span>. It is very likely this assembly gathered about the tents of Moses and Aaron, who went from thence unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation; where the Lord had promised to meet Moses, and speak unto him, Ex 29:42<\/span><\/p>\n and they fell upon their faces<\/strong>; to pray, as Aben Ezra, that God would forgive the sin, of the people, and not break forth in his wrath against them, as he sometimes had done, and as their sin deserved, and that he would grant them what was needful for them. In the Vulgate Latin version the following words are added as their prayer,<\/p>\n “and they cried unto the Lord, and said, Lord God, hear the cry of this people, and open to them thy treasure, the fountain of living water, that they being satiated, their murmuring may cease.”<\/p>\n But they are not neither in the Hebrew text, nor in the Greek version, nor the Chaldee paraphrases:<\/p>\n and the glory of the Lord appeared unto them<\/strong>; either to Moses and Aaron, to encourage them to expect their prayers would be answered; or to the people, to terrify them, and silence their murmurings; see<\/p>\n Nu 16:19<\/span>.<\/p>\n Moses and Aaron then turned to the tabernacle, to ask for the help of the Lord; and the glory of the Lord immediately appeared (see at Num 17:7<\/span> and Num 14:10<\/span>).<\/p>\n 6. And Moses and Aaron went from the presence. It is probable that they fled in fear, inasmuch as the tabernacle was a kind of refuge for them from the violence of the people. Still, we may conjecture from other passages that they had consideration not only for themselves, but for the wretched people, howsoever unworthy of it they might be so also, when they throw themselves upon their faces, I understand that they did so, not so much (to pray) that God would protect them from the wrath of their enemies, but also that He would calm these madmen by some appropriate remedy. Still their agitation appears to have been such as to deprive them of their ordinary self-restraint. Neither, indeed, does God try their faith and patience, as He often did on other occasions; perhaps because He saw that they were too much overwhelmed to be able to persevere inflexibly in pious zeal, patience, and care for the public good. Consequently the appearance to them of God’s glory was a support for their weakness, as in a case of extremity. <\/p>\n This example shows us how earnestly God should be entreated constantly to support us with new supplies of His grace, since otherwise the boldest of us all would fail at every moment. The invincible resolution of Moses had so often overcome every obstacle, that there seemed to be no fear of his being in danger of falling; yet the conqueror in so many struggles at length stumbles in a single act. Hence we should more carefully bear in mind the exhortation of Paul: Because <\/p>\n “<\/p>\n it is God which worketh in us both to will and to do of his good pleasure,” we should “work out our own salvation with fear and trembling.” (Phi 2:12<\/span>.) <\/p>\n 6<\/strong>. <\/strong> Unto the door of the tabernacle <\/strong> Perhaps too much awed by the “ glory” to attempt further entrance. <\/p>\n Upon their faces <\/strong> See note on Num 14:5<\/span>. <\/p>\n The glory of the Lord <\/strong> See note on Num 14:10<\/span>. This is the last occasion on which the glory of the Lord flashed out before Israel in the camp. But the cloud still continued visibly present over the tabernacle. The last mention of it is just before the death of Moses.<\/p>\n Deu 31:15<\/span>. From this time we have no record of either the cloud, or the glory, or the voice from between the cherubim, till the dedication of Solomon’s temple. 1Ki 8:11<\/span>. The glory appears in the New Testament to the shepherds. Luk 2:9<\/span>. St. John (Joh 1:14<\/span>) says of the Logos, “We beheld his glory.” St. Paul enumerates “the glory” as one of the peculiar blessings of the Hebrews. Rom 9:4<\/span>. Its last terrific out-flashing in the eyes of men will be “when the Son of man cometh in his glory.”<\/p>\n What a beautiful representation is here made of the conduct of the LORD’S servants. How charming doth grace appear, when a soul lies in silent humbleness and self-abasement before GOD? See Ezr 9:5-6<\/span> . But Reader! raise your thoughts from the contemplation of the priests of old, to the contemplation of JESUS, the great high priest going in before the mercy-seat for his people.
