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 Por eso, a partir del monte Horeb los israelitas no volvieron a ponerse joyas.

7 Moisés tomó una tienda de campaña y la armó a cierta distancia fuera del campamento. La llamó «la Tienda de la reunión con el SEÑOR». Cuando alguien quería consultar al SEÑOR, tenía que salir del campamento e ir a esa tienda.

8 Siempre que Moisés se dirigía a ella, todo el pueblo se quedaba de pie a la entrada de su carpa y seguía a Moisés con la mirada, hasta que este entraba en la Tienda de reunión.

9 En cuanto Moisés entraba en ella, la columna de nube descendía y tapaba la entrada, mientras el SEÑOR hablaba con Moisés.

10 Cuando los israelitas veían que la columna de nube se detenía a la entrada de la Tienda de reunión, todos ellos se inclinaban a la entrada de su carpa y adoraban al SEÑOR.
