4 ... For today the Lord will appear to you.’”
23 Moses and Aaron then went into the tent of meeting. When they came out, they blessed the people; and the glory of the Lord appeared to all the people.
I don't know what to take from this chapter either. But at the beginning it says God will appear and at the end he does. Yes it says they were all excited and shouting for joy. But it just seems too understated. I really just about blew buy it. God showed himself is some physical way that the eyes of the people knew it was his presence. What an awesome moment in time, can you imagine?? Surely it had a huge impact on those who experienced it firsthand.
its just a brief sentence tucked into the chapter but seems like a major event as I reflect on it.

I didn't even notice that line....but after reading your notes, I went back and saw this.
ReplyDelete5 They took the things Moses commanded to the front of the tent of meeting, and the entire assembly came near and stood before the Lord.
The first time I read it, I was thinking about standing in the temple, and surely God's presence was there. But, to your point, perhaps God was physically present? I don't know. Seem spectacular, doesn't it?
