Êxodo 33:8 Meaning and Commentary

Exodus 33:8

And it came to pass, when Moses went out of the tabernacle,
&c.] For when he had pitched it he did not continue there; which shows it was not the tent or tabernacle he dwelt in, but whither he went to and fro, both to meet the Lord in it, and transact the affairs of the people, and especially the great affair now depending between God and them:

[that] all the people rose up:
in reverence of him as their ruler, and the minister of God, and as their Mediator between God and them, though they had but lately thought and spoke very meanly and contemptibly of him, ( Exodus 32:1 ) see ( Job 29:8 )

and stood every man at his tent door;
none offering to go in, nor to sit down until he was gone into the tabernacle, which was an instance of their respect to him:

and looked after Moses until he was gone into the tabernacle;
kept their eye on him as long as they could see him, thereby expressing their esteem of him, signifying their desire that he would intercede for them, and wishing him success therein: the Targum of Jonathan interprets all this of the ungodly among them that looked after Moses with an evil eye.

Êxodo 33:8 In-Context

6 Então os filhos de Israel se despojaram dos seus atavios, desde o monte Horebe em diante.

7 Ora, Moisés costumava tomar a tenda e armá-la fora do arraial, bem longe do arraial; e chamou-lhe a tenda da revelação. E todo aquele que buscava ao Senhor saía � tenda da revelação, que estava fora do arraial.

8 Quando Moisés saía � tenda, levantava-se todo o povo e ficava em pé cada um � porta da sua tenda, e olhava a Moisés pelas costas, até entrar ele na tenda.

9 E quando Moisés entrava na tenda, a coluna de nuvem descia e ficava � porta da tenda; e o Senhor falava com Moisés.

10 Assim via todo o povo a coluna de nuvem que estava � porta da tenda, e todo o povo, levantando-se, adorava, cada um � porta da sua tenda.
