God’s presence was diffused through every part of the edifice, thus claiming the whole as set apart to Him.<\/p>\n As in the case of Moses Exo 40:35<\/span>, so now the glory of the Lord, the manifestation of the divine presence, which the cloud usually veiled, shone forth from it with such brilliancy, that mortal man could not bear the sight.<\/P> <\/p>\n Verse 11<\/span>. The glory of the Lord had filled the house<\/B><\/I>] The cloud, the symbol of the Divine glory and presence, appears to have filled not only the holy of holies, but the whole temple, court and all, and to have become evident to the people; and by this Solomon knew that God had honoured the place with his presence, and taken it for his habitation in reference to the people of Israel.<\/P> <\/p>\n Because of the cloud; <\/B>because the cloud was either so bright that it dazzled their eyes; or rather so dark, that it struck them with horror and amazement, as is implied in the next verse. <\/P> <\/p>\n So that the priests could not stand to minister, because of the cloud<\/strong>,…. Either through the darkness it first caused, or through the light that broke out of it, which was dazzling to them, or through the terror it struck their minds with; they could neither minister in the holy place, by offering incense there; and as for the most holy place, none but the high priest could minister there, and that on one day only; nor in the court of the priests, at the altar of burnt offerings:<\/p>\n for the glory of the Lord had filled the house of the Lord<\/strong>; a bright and glorious stream came forth from the cloud, and spread itself all over the house, and then took up its abode in the most holy place as in the tabernacle, Ex 40:34<\/span>.<\/p>\n (11) The priests could not stand to minister.<\/strong>So in Exo. 40:35<\/span>, Moses was not able to enter into the Tabernacle; for the cloud rested thereon, and the glory of the Lord filled the Tabernacle. They shrank from the glory of the Lord, whom none could see and live; just as Isaiah (Isa. 6:5<\/span>) felt undone when he beheld the glory of the Lord in the Temple; and as even the Apostles trembled, when they entered into the bright cloud which overshadowed them on the Mount of Transfiguration, and knew not what they said (Luk. 9:33-34<\/span>). But it was not so much from terror of the Lord, who is a consuming fire, as simply from awe and reverence of His unspeakable glory.<\/p>\n 1Ki 8:11 So that the priests could not stand to minister because of the cloud: for the glory of the LORD had filled the house of the LORD.<\/p>\n Ver. 11. So that the priests could not stand,<\/strong> ] sc., <\/em> With the safeguard of their lives, their eyes at least. The holy angels clap their wings upon their faces, as it were a double scarf, – or as a man doth his hands before his eyes, when he beholdeth an exceeding great light, – before the brightness of God’s presence, that would put out their eyes else. Isa 6:2-3 Pellican saith, by the priests being driven out by this cloud appearing, was showed that the time should come when this priesthood should minister no more by carnal rites in this place.<\/p>\n for the glory: Lev 9:6, Lev 9:23, Eze 43:2, Eze 43:4, Eze 43:5, Eze 44:4, Joh 1:14, Act 7:55, 2Co 3:18, 2Co 4:6, Rev 21:11, Rev 21:23 <\/p>\n Reciprocal: Exo 16:10 – appeared Exo 29:43 – sanctified Exo 40:34 – a cloud Exo 40:35 – General 1Ki 9:3 – I have hallowed 2Ch 7:1 – the glory Psa 24:7 – shall Isa 6:1 – filled Isa 60:2 – the Lord Eze 1:28 – This Hag 2:7 – I will fill Luk 2:9 – and the Rom 9:4 – and the glory<\/p>\n So that the priests could not stand to minister because of the cloud: for the glory of the LORD had filled the house of the LORD. 11. could not stand to minister ] i.e. At the altar of incense which stood within the holy place.
