The well-known belief of ancient man that it meant death to come into close converse with the Deity.<\/p>\n Verse 33<\/span>. Did ever people hear the voice of God<\/B><\/I>] It seems to have been a general belief that if God appeared<\/I> to men, it was for the purpose of destroying them; and indeed most of the extraordinary manifestations of God were in the way of judgment<\/I>; but here it was different; God did appear in a sovereign and extraordinary manner; but it was for the deliverance and support of the people.<\/P> 1. They heard his voice speaking with them in a distinct, articulate manner.<\/P> 2. They saw the fire, the symbol of his presence, the appearances of which demonstrated it to be supernatural.<\/P> 3. Notwithstanding God appeared so terrible, yet no person was destroyed, for he came, not to destroy<\/I>, but to save<\/I>.<\/P> <\/p>\n i.e. And was not overwhelmed and consumed by such a glorious appearance. See Exo 24:11<\/span>; 33:20<\/span> <\/P> <\/p>\n Did [ever] people hear the voice of God speaking out of the midst of fire<\/strong>,…. None ever heard the voice of God as they did, much less speaking such words as they heard, and still less out of the midst of fire, which was their case, De 4:12<\/span><\/p>\n as thou hast heard, and live<\/strong>? which was stranger still, when they might have expected they should, and doubtless feared they would be, as it was wonderful they were not, consumed by it.<\/p>\n 33. Did ever people hear? He points out more openly the greatness and extraordinary transcendency of the matter which he has just mentioned, viz., that they heard the voice of God speaking out of the fire. It is true, indeed, that the superstitions of the Gentiles had been confirmed of old by many apparitions, yet amongst the portents which wretched men have imagined for their willing self-deception, there is nothing approaching to this miracle. Many have individually lied, and their false and foolish tales have been rashly believed; but here we have not to do with unfounded and scattered rumors, nor with the dreams of some single person, but Moses produces more than 700,000 witnesses, to whom God’s glory had clearly and certainly appeared; he subjoins, therefore, that God had never assayed to do the same, but had afforded this solitary instance to render His Law illustrious in all ages. (228) Yet in this verse he not only alludes to the promulgation of the Law, but to the whole course of their deliverance, since he names in general His “temptations and signs.” He says that God “took him a nation from the midst of another nation,” for by His incomparable power He rescued the descendants of Abraham, who, though dispersed through Egypt, and, as it were, enclosed in its bowels, were yet an obscure and ignoble part of a most famous nation; whereof no similar example is to be found. (229) <\/p>\n (228) Ce chef-d’-oeuvre unique. — Fr. <\/p>\n (229) Addition in the Fr., “Si quelqu’un aime mieux prendre le nombre singulier pour le pluriel, lors le sens sera tel: Combien que tous peuples fussent pareils, ou d’estat indifferent quant a leur nature, neantmoins que Dieu en a pris un d’entre tousles autres;” if any should prefer taking the singular number instead of the plural, then the sense will be, Although all people were equal, or of the same condition by nature, nevertheless God chose out one of them from amongst all the others. <\/p>\n Ver. <\/em><\/strong>33. <\/strong>Did ever people hear, <\/em><\/strong>&c.<\/strong> Three prodigies are pointed out in this verse: 1st, God speaking with a distinct and articulate voice. 2nd, Out of the midst of fire.
