Numbers 10:34

_AND THE CLOUD OF THE LORD WAS UPON THEM BY DAY, WHEN THEY WENT OUT OF THE CAMP._ No JFB commentary on this verse....

33-36 Their going out and coming in, gives an example to us to begin and end every day's journey and every day's work with prayer. Here is Moses's prayer when the ark set forward, "Rise up, and let thine enemies be scattered." There are those in the world who are enemies to God and haters of him; secret and open enemies; enemies to his truths, his laws, his ordinances, his people. But for the scattering and defeating of God's enemies, there needs no more than God's arising. Observe also the prayer of Moses when the ark rested, that God would cause his people to rest. The welfare and happiness of the Israel of God, consist in the continual presence of God among them. Their safety is not in their numbers, but in the favour of God, and his gracious return to them, and resting with them. Upon this account, Happy art thou, O Israel! who is like unto thee, O people! God will go before them, t...

EXPOSITION THE ACTUAL DEPARTURE FROM SINAI (Numbers 10:33-4). NUMBERS 10:33 AND THEY DEPARTED. These words mark the moment of actual departure, which has been anticipated in the general statement of Numbers 10:12. It was one of the supreme moments in the life of Israel—one of those beginnings or "departures" which lead to untold gain or loss; it was, in fact, although they knew it not, the commencement of a march which for almost all of them should know no end except within a hasty grave. No doubt, during the months spent at Sinai, _every _preparat

AND THE CLOUD OF THE LORD [WAS] UPON THEM BY DAY,.... Not only upon the tabernacle, and upon the ark particularly, but it spread itself in journeying over the whole body of the people, and therefore said to be a covering to them from the heat of the sun, Psalms 105:39; as well as it was a guide unto them, and a token of the divine Presence with them, see Isaiah 4:5; WHEN THEY WENT OUT OF THE CAMP; or out of the place of their encampment, when they removed from Sinai; and appears from, hence that it was in the daytime....

NUMBERS 10:33 (JE). THE MOVEMENTS OF THE ARK. Here the Ark is not regarded as carried in the middle of the column (as in Numbers 10:21), but as preceding it (_cf._ Psalms 68:7). The address to it assumes that it was the seat or symbol of Yahweh, and the particular expressions used are more appropriate to a time after the settlement in Canaan, when the Ark accompanied the Israelite armies to war (1 Samuel 4:3; 2 Samuel 11:11), than to the period spent in the wilderness....

C. THE CLOUD AND THE ARK LEAD THE PEOPLE vv. 33-36 TEXT Numbers 10:33. And they departed from the mount of the Lord three days-' journey: and the ark of the covenant of the Lord went before them in the three days-' journey, to search out a resting place for them. 34. And the cloud of the Lord was upon them by day, when they went out of the camp. 35. And it came to pass, when the ark set forward, that Moses said, Rise up, Lord, and let thine enemies be scattered; and let them that hate thee flee before thee. 36. And when it rested, he said, Return, O Lord, unto the many thousands of Israel. PARAPHRASE Numbers 10:33. And they went a three-days-' journey from the mount of the Lord; and the ark of the covenant went ahead of them during the three days-' journey to find a resting pla

JOURNEYINGS FROM SINAI TO MOAB (NUMBERS 10:11 TO NUMBERS 22:1) After a stay at Sinai of nearly a year (cp. Numbers 10:11 with Exodus 19:1) the signal is given for the breaking up of the camp. This second division of the book of Numbers relates the wanderings in the wilderness, and covers a period extending from the second to the fortieth year of the exodus: see Numbers 33:38; Deuteronomy 1:3. But as the events recorded in...
