exodus-34:30

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Exodus 34:28-35

Here is, I. The continuance of Moses in the mount, where he was miraculously sustained, Exod. 34:28. He was there in very intimate communion with God, without interruption, forty days and forty nights, and did not think it long. When we are weary of an hour or two spent in attendance upon God and adoration of him, we should think how many days and nights Moses spent with him, and of the eternal day we hope to spend in praising him. During all this time Moses did neither eat nor drink. Though... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Exodus 34:30

And when Aaron and all the children of Israel saw Moses ,.... Who very probably met him at the bottom of the mount; these Israelites with Aaron were the princes, as Aben Ezra seems rightly to interpret it, and as appears from the following verse; for Moses could not well be seen by the whole body of the people at once, upon his descent from the mount: behold, the skin of his face shone ; darted out rays of light and glory all around it, much perhaps in the same manner as the glory about... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Exodus 34:30

They were afraid to come nigh him - A sight of his face alarmed them; their consciences were still guilty from their late transgression, and they had not yet received the atonement. The very appearance of superior sanctity often awes the guilty into respect. read more

Fellowship with God and its fruits. I. COMMUNION WITH GOD . 1 . The length of his sojourn—forty days and forty nights. Time sped unmarked in the presence and fellowship of God. The future glory an untiring joy. The redeemed serve him day and night in his temple. 2 . Lower wants were forgotten: "he did neither eat bread nor drink water." The need of the body was unfelt in the satisfying of the desires of the spirit. "In thy presence is fulness of joy." To escape from... read more

The shining of Moses' face. This strange phenomenon, one of the distinctive marks which most closely assimilate the Jewish with the Christian lawgiver, is well worthy of our attentive consideration. I. AS TO ITS ORIGIN . Admission to the Divine presence within the cloud had not, on the former occasion, left any such visible trace. It cannot, therefore, be ascribed simply to communion with God for a period of a certain duration. We must endeavour to see how the second sojourn in... read more

The shining face. Consider— I. THE SHINING OF MOSES ' FACE ( Exodus 34:29 , Exodus 34:30 ). II. THE FEAR OF THE PEOPLE ( Exodus 34:30 ). The beauty of the glory had something of terror in it. Symbol of the dispensation—"a ministration of death" ( 2 Corinthians 3:7 ). See sermon by Dr. John Ker on Moses and Stephen—"The Old Testament and the New". III. THE VEIL (verses 31-33). The notable fact is that Moses did not veil his face during the time... read more

The shining of Moses' face. I. THE PHENOMENON ITSELF . The skin of Moses' face shone. As to the precise manner of this shining, it is of course vain to speculate; but we may be tolerably certain it was not anything in the way of a mere reflection from a mirror. It must surely have been the shining out for a little while of some glorious gift which had entered, if one may say so, into the bodily constitution of Moses. There may be some connection of this glory with the miraculous... read more

They were afraid . They shrank from Moses, as if he were more than man. (Compare Ezekiel 1:28 ; Revelation 1:17 .) Perhaps they thought that what they saw was his spirit. read more

Exodus 34:30. And Aaron and the children of Israel saw it, and were afraid It not only dazzled their eyes, but struck such an awe upon them as obliged them to retire. Probably they doubted whether it was a token of God’s favour, or of his displeasure. read more
