Verse 7 the tabernacleEth haohel, the Tent, not eth hammishcan, the Tabernacle, for this was not erected; but probably the tent of Moses, which was before in the midst of the camp, and to which the people came for judgment; and where, no doubt, God frequently met his servant. This situation, as well as the superior elegance, of a chief's tent, was one mode by which he was honoured.afar off Psalm 10:1, 35:22; Proverbs 15:29; Isaiah 59:2; Hosea 9:12 the Tabernacle of Exodus 29:42, 29:43 sought Deuteronomy 4:29; 2 Samuel 21:1; Psalm 27:8; Isaiah 55:6, 55:7; Matthew 7:7, 7:8 went out Habakkuk 3:1-13:13 Reciprocal Leviticus 1:1 - out of; Numbers 12:10 - the cloud Verse 8 and stood Numbers 16:27

In such inconceivable splendour is the Divine Majesty revealed to the inhabitants of the celestial world, where he is said to "dwell in the light which no man can approach unto" - 1 Timothy 6:16. By the "face of God," therefore, we are to understand that light inaccessible before which angels may stand, but which would be so insufferable to mortal eyes, that no man could see it and live.

The rock on which Moses stood, and in the clift of which he was sheltered, was doubtless an emblem of Christ; in whose person, character, and salvation alone, sinners may by faith see the glory of God, and live; for there it appears in softened splendour; as the sun, when his brightness is diminished by a mist, is beheld more distinctly by the human eye. - ScottReciprocal 1 Kings 19:9 - unto a cave; Song of Songs 2:14 - clefts Verse 23 thou shalt Exodus 33:20; Job 11:7, 26:14; John 1:18; 1 Corinthians 13:12; 1 Timothy 6:16 Reciprocal Exodus 24:10 - saw; Numbers 12:8 - similitude; 1 Kings 19:13 - he wrapped his face; Song of Songs 2:14 - clefts
