Números 16:42 Meaning and Commentary

Numbers 16:42

And it came to pass, when the congregation was gathered
against Moses and against Aaron
To kill them, as the Targum of Jonathan adds; who, perhaps, upon uttering their murmurs, made up to them, and by their gestures showed an intention to murder them:

that they looked toward the tabernacle of the congregation;

and, behold, the cloud covered it;
as when it was first erected, and which was a token of the divine Presence, ( Numbers 9:15 Numbers 9:16 ) ; perhaps it had dispersed immediately upon the death of the rebels, and now returned again in favour of the servants of the Lord:

and the glory of the Lord appeared;
in the cloud, as in ( Numbers 16:19 ) ; to encourage Moses and Aaron, and to deliver them out of the hands of the people, and to the terror of them.

42 Sucedi贸, sin embargo, que cuando la congregaci贸n se hab铆a juntado contra Mois茅s y Aar贸n, se volvieron hacia la tienda de reuni贸n, y he aqu铆, la nube la cubr铆a y la gloria del SE脩OR apareci贸.
43 Y Mois茅s y Aar贸n fueron al frente de la tienda de reuni贸n,
44 y el SE脩OR habl贸 a Mois茅s, diciendo:
