For though Moses may be called an angel or messenger<\/I>, a title given to Phineas, Jdg 2:1<\/span>; and to the prophets, 2Ch 36:16<\/span>; and to Haggai, Hag 1:13<\/span>; yet it is not probable that he is meant, partly, because Moses was the person that sent this message; partly, because there was no reason why he should express himself by such a dark and doubtful title to them: and partly, because another Angel besides and above Moses did conduct them, and the mention hereof to the Edomites was likely to give more authority and efficacy to their present message. <\/P> In Kadesh, <\/B>i.e. near the city Kadesh, the particle in<\/I> being oft so used, as we have showed. <\/P> <\/p>\n And when we cried unto the Lord<\/strong>,….

Thus Moses showed that they were not a gang of freebooters, but a moral and religious nation worthy of being trusted with the courtesy of a right of passage through the territory of another people. <\/p>\n Sent an angel <\/strong> The term angel <\/strong> one sent <\/em> points to the second Person in the Godhead in his office of Revealer and Mediator. Acts are attributed in a special way to Christ which the Old Testament writers, with as much particularity, have predicted of the Messenger of Jehovah. Luk 1:15-17<\/span>; 1Co 10:4<\/span>; Heb 12:25-26<\/span>; comp. Mal 3:1<\/span>; Exo 17:6<\/span>; Hag 2:6<\/span>; see full discussion Biblioth.

See Exo 3:2<\/span>; Exo 14:19<\/span>; Exo 14:31<\/span>. The word fields, <\/em>in the next verse, means the cultivated lands; and the whole offer of the Israelites is, that they would pass through peaceably and quietly, without injury to any public or private property. <\/p>\n Num 20:16 And when we cried unto the LORD, he heard our voice, and sent an angel, and hath brought us forth out of Egypt: and, behold, we [are] in Kadesh, a city in the uttermost of thy border:<\/p>\n Ver. 16.

An angel The angel of the covenant, who first appeared to Moses in the bush, and afterward in the cloudy pillar, who conducted Moses and the people out of Egypt, and through the wilderness. For though Moses may be called an angel or messenger, yet it is not probable that he is meant; partly because Moses was the person that sent this message, and partly because another angel above Moses conducted them; and the mention hereof to the Edomites, was likely to give more authority to the present message. In Kadesh Or near it, as the particle in is often used.<\/p>\n And when we cried unto the LORD, he heard our voice, and sent an angel, and hath brought us forth out of Egypt: and, behold, we [are] in Kadesh, a city in the uttermost of thy border: An angel – See Gen 12:7, note; Exo 3:2, note.
