the two tables of testimony in Moses hand when he came down from the mount that Moses wist not that the skin of his face shone l Quest. Why now and not when he came down from God before Ans. 1.

Now it was more necessary than before to procure the greater honour to Moses and to the law 2 Cor. 3. ●… 8 11. because of the late horrid violation and contempt of them which the Israelites had fallen into while he talked with him 30 And when Aaron and all the children of Israel saw Moses behold the skin of his face shone and they were afraid to come nigh him 31 And Moses called unto them and Aaron and all the rulers of the congregation returned unto him m To the Tabernacle which was still at a distance from the camp though afterwards God being reconciled it was set up in the camp Exod. 40. 34. and Moses talked with them 32 And afterward all the children of Israel came nigh and he gave them in commandment all that the LORD had spoken with him in mount Sinai 33 † Heb. and Moses ceased from speaking with them and put a vail on his face And till Moses had done speaking with them he put * 2 Cor. 3. 13. a vail on his face n In condescension to their weakness 34 But when Moses went in before the LORD to speak with him he took the vail off until he came out and he came out and spake unto the children of Israel that which he was commanded 35 And the children of Israel saw the face of Moses that the skin of Moses face shone and Moses put the vail upon his face again untill he went in to speak with him CHAP. XXXV 1 AND Moses gathered all the congregation of the children of Israel together and said unto them These are the words which the LORD hath commanded that ye should do them 2 * chap. 20. 9. Lev. 23. 3. Deut. 5. 12. Luk. 13. 14. Six days shall work be done but on the seventh day there shall be to you an † Heb. Holiness holy day a sabbath of rest to the LORD a This command of the sabbath is repeated here as also Exod. 31. 13. together with the instructions for the building of the Tabernacle and its utensils to shew that they were made for no other use than the service of God which was to be performed as every day so in an eminent and peculiar manner upon the sabbath day and to teach them the absolute necessity of minding that precept in and above all their ceremonial observations whosoever doth work therein shall be put to death 3 Ye shall kindle no fire b This command seems to be onely temporary and extraordinary during the present season and condition and not extending to succeeding generations For 1. There are instances of temporary precepts both in the Old and New Testament which yet are not in their places said to be so Such were some of the precepts concerning the Passeover Exod. 12. 11. as is confessed And such was that law of abstaining from things strangled and blood Act. 15. 2. This precept is nakedly proposed and not called a perpetual statute nor enjoyned to be observed in their generations as other precepts are to whom those or some like clauses are frequently added 3. The sabbath is rather a feast-day than a fast-day And the Iews did make feasts and invited guests upon the sabbath-day which could not probably be without kindling a fire And which is more considerable Christ himself who fulfilled all righteousness and therefore would not have joined in the violation of the sabbath went to one of those feasts Luk. 14. And the Corinthians as they received the Lords Supper upon that day which none question so they had their feasts as is confessed and apparent from 1 Cor. 11. 21 22 c. 4. The kindling of a fire was no greater hinderance to the religious observation of the Sabbath than other things which were allowed upon that day such as the washing and dressing of themselves eating and drinking c. 5. This prohibition doth not seem to concern the dressing of meat as many understand it by comparing this with Exod. 16. 23. which place I humbly conceive is misunderstood as I have there intimated for that was lawful to be done upon their most solemn days Exod. 12. 16. but the service of the Tabernacle which is the subject of this chapter and the occasion of these words and the sence seems to be this You shall kindle no fire for any handy-work throughout your habitation no not for the service of this Tabernacle for the heating of any tools or the melting of any metals or other things belonging to it which being to be made for Gods service and deserving and requiring all expedition they might probably conceive that such work might be done upon that ●…y And here also as oft elsewhere under one kind all the rest are comprehended and forbidden throughout your habitations upon the sabbath day 4 And Moses spake unto all the congregation of the children of Israel saying This is the thing which the LORD commanded saying 5 Take ye from amongst you an offering unto the LORD * chap. 25. ●… whosoever is of a willing heart c For God values not forced or grudged services 2 Cor. 9. 7. let him bring it an offering of the LORD gold and silver and brass 6 And blue and purple and scarlet and fine linnen and goats hair 7 And rams skins died red and badgers skins and shittim-wood 8 And oil for the light and spices for anointing oil and for the sweet incense 9 And onyx stones and stones to be set for the ephod and for the breast-plate 10 And * chap. 31. ●… every wise-hearted d i. e.

The boards or structure of the Tabernacle as it appears because it is distinguished here from its tent and curtains whereas elsewhere the Tabernacle is put for all together his tent f The inward and finer curtains which covered the boards of it and his covering g The outward and courser coverings his taches and his boards his bars his pillars and his sockets 12 The ark and the staves thereof with the mercy-seat and the vail of the covering h i. e.

Whom shall he g To wit the Teacher which is easily understood out of the following Verb either God or his Prophets or Ministers teach knowledge and whom shall he make to understand † Heb. the hearing doctrine them that are weaned from the milk and drawn from the breasts h Who is there among this People that are capable and willing to be taught the good knowledge of God A Minister may as soon teach a young Child as these Men. 10. For precept ‖ Or hath been must be upon precept i They must be taught like little Children slowly and by leasure the same things being oft repeated because of their great dulness precept upon precept line upon line k One line of the book after another as Children are taught to read line upon line here a little and there a little 11. For l Or therefore as this Particle is oft used For this seems to be the punishment of their dulness with † Heb. stammerings of lips * 1 Cor. 14. 21. stammering lips m Either 1. in way of condescention as Mothers or Nurses teach Children lisping and stammering with them Or 2. in way of judgment which suits best with the next Clause and another tongue n By people of a strange Language whom He shall bring among them and into whose power He shall deliver them which is a great aggravation of their Misery see Deut. 28. 49. Ier. 5. 15. Ezek. 3. 5. ‖ Or he hath spoken will he speak to this people o Seeing they will not hear Him speaking by His Prophets and Ministers in their own Language they shall hear their Enemies speaking to them in a strange and rough Language 12. To whom he said p To which People the Lord by his Ministers said This q This Doctrine or Precept as it is expressed ver 9 10. or the word of the Lord as it follows ver 13. is the rest r The onely way in the observation of which you will find rest and satisfaction wherewith ye may cause the weary to rest s Heb. Cause the weary understand either Soul or Country to rest As Rest is offered to you by the Prophets in God's name do you embrace it which is to be done by hearkening to God's Word as appears by the following Clauses So shall this People which hath been so oft and so long wearied and harassed by great and manifold Calamities find Rest and Peace and this is the refreshing yet they would not hear t They are wilfully ignorant and obstinately refused the very means of Instruction 13. But the word of the LORD was unto them precept upon precept precept upon precept line upon line line upon line here a little and there a little u The sence of the words thus rendred may be this They spake of God's Word with scorn and contempt repeating the Prophets words in a scoffing manner and with a stammering and ridiculous tone saying Precept upon precept c. as if they had said It seems the Prophet takes us to be meer Children that need to be taught our first Rudiments and that but slowly That these were scornful men and mockers is affirmed ver 14 22. and as scoffers frequently catch the words out of other mens Mouths and use them in way of derision so it may be thought they did with the Prophets words But the words may be and by divers learned Men are rendred a little otherwise And the word of the Lord shall be unto them precept upon precept c. As this Method hath been used with them and was altogether necessary for them so it still is and for the future shall be As they were Children in understanding they shall still continue to be such they shall be ever learning and never come to the knowledge of the Truth as they formerly would not so now they shall not profit by the Word and their sin shall be their punishment And this seems to suit with the following Clause which notes the dreadful design and effect of that judicial blindness That they may or might go and fall backward c. that they might go and fall backward and be broken and snared and taken x According to the former which is our Translation this Clause notes onely the event or consequent of their Sin According to the Latter it notes the just Judgment of God designed and inflicted for it that God's Word being so horribly abused by them might be an occasion at which they might stumble and fall and that backward which is the worst and most dangerous way of falling and so be broken to pieces or by which
