Éxodo 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.

Éxodo 33:8 In-Context

6 Así que, desde el momento que partieron del monte Sinaí,
los israelitas dejaron de usar joyas y de ponerse ropa fina.

7 Moisés tenía la costumbre de armar la carpa de reunión
a cierta distancia del campamento y toda persona que quería hacer alguna petición al Señor
iba a la carpa de reunión que estaba fuera del campamento.

8 Cada vez que Moisés se dirigía a la carpa de reunión, toda la gente se levantaba y permanecía de pie a la entrada de su propia carpa. Todos seguían a Moisés con la vista hasta que entraba en la carpa.

9 Cuando Moisés entraba en la carpa, la columna de nube descendía y se quedaba en el aire a la entrada mientras el Señor
hablaba con Moisés.

10 Cuando el pueblo notaba que la nube se detenía a la entrada de la carpa, cada persona se paraba a la entrada de su propia carpa y se inclinaba.
