But when Moses went in before the Lord to speak with
him,
&c.] Went into the tabernacle to converse with him, to pray
unto him, and inquire about any matter of difficulty respecting
the people of Israel he was concerned for, which he often did:
he took the vail off until he came out:
and so when men are truly converted, and turn to the Lord, the
vail of darkness and unbelief is removed, and the true light
shines, in which they see things in another light than they did
before; and when they come into his presence, they come with
hearts opened and unveiled, all things being naked and open to
him with whom they have to do; and particularly saints under the
Gospel dispensation, with an open face, as in a glass, behold the
glory of the Lord; and when they get to heaven, they will then
see face to face, and know as they are known, ( 2
Corinthians 3:16 2
Corinthians 3:18 ) ( 1
Corinthians 13:12 ) :
and he came out, and spake unto the children of Israel
[that] which
he was commanded;
this respects not the present time of his coming down from the
mount, or out of the tabernacle with the law and commands now
given, for these he had already declared; but after times, and
all such times when he went in to the Lord to inquire of him his
mind and will concerning certain things, in which the people
wanted information, when, upon his return, he acquainted them
with whatsoever the Lord ordered to be done.
