Whatever be the work of God, His rest remains for His people. Accordingly they were severed by the ordinance of circumcision and other rites. And perhaps Jeremiah alluded to this passage, where (382) he mitigates the severity of the vengeance of which he had been speaking by this same expression, for there it can only be translated, With cutting off I will not cut thee off. If this be preferred, it will be the assignment of the reason why God pardons sins, viz., because He is unwilling to cut off men, which would be the case if He insisted on the utmost rigor of the Law. For they who despised Moses' law were put to death in the mouth of two or three witnesses: Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, he could be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and who hath counted the blood of His covenant, wherewith He was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite to the spirit of grace?

Here at least the people are at their work earnestly at work in dishonouring God striking at the very foundation of His truth and honour to their own shame and ruin. He accordingly drew near into the thick darkness; for so God dealt with Israel as a people in the flesh. When the people first swore their faithfulness to the covenant, they promised to keep all its requirements (see 24:3-8), but in practice they failed badly. It may be ever so minute, but there is habitually a dealing of Christ between the touch that stays the issue and the word which declares with no less authority than love, "Daughter, be of good comfort: thy faith hath saved thee; go in peace."

If we consider with any care Romans 3:1-31, it is the righteousness of God presented to man as a sinful being in this world. So he would veil his face when he would go out and talk with the children of Israel, because he would have this shining on his face. God would guard His people from an outrage in comeliness, were it even about a dumb or dead animal; as Satan triumphs in all that is abnormal and unnatural in the superstitions which usurp the place of the truth, and are bound up with idolatry.

I believe that it happened because the Bible declares that it happened. (2 Corinthians 3:1-18) Hence we can understand the earthly, external, and temporal character of the legal economy. In short therefore the children of Israel stood on the ground of man in the flesh; and man in the flesh, as he is a sinful being, can neither deny nor accomplish his obligation to do the will of God.

Also specifically mentioned was the obligation to keep the weekly Sabbath and the annual festivals (21-24; see 23:12-17).

He could not look upon the face of God; but when the Lord had passed by then he could behold and delight in the shaded vision of Jehovahs back parts. The children of Israel saw the face of Moses, the skin of Moses' face it was shining: and Moses put the veil upon his face again, until he went to speak with the Lord ( Exodus 34:29-35 ). of the land of Egypt, the same day came they into the wilderness of He for giveth iniquity, transgression, and sin.

Observe thou that which I command thee this day ( Exodus 34:10-11 ): Now God is saying, "Observe it, not just see it". But, secondly, the law is a test morally and individually.

Into that wondrous knowledge we are brought by the Son come down here below; and above all by the Holy Ghost, now that Christ is gone up on high For in point of fact, when God was only known as the one God, however true this may be, He could not really be known as He is.

This bespeaks plentiful goodness, goodness abounding above our deserts, above our conception and expression. In His love He is become a servant for ever; and He loves to be so. Another reason also is because Gods mercy cannot be comprehended, except upon the testimony of His word, the certainty of which must needs be well assured lest our salvation should be wavering and insecure. This was the transfiguration of Moses. We have a figure to which the apostle refers (2 Corinthians 3:1-18), confirming what has just now been stated. What was the meaning of the blood? "As is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly." Now if gold represents God's righteousness which we approach within; and if brass or rather copper means, when thus symbolically viewed, His righteousness as applied to man outside in His immutable judgment, what is the force of silver in this connection?
