Numbers 12:8
_ _ with him will I speak mouth to mouth — immediately, not by an interpreter, nor by visionary symbols presented to his fancy.
_ _ apparently — plainly and surely.
_ _ not in dark speeches — parables or similitudes.
_ _ the similitude of the Lord shall he behold — not the face or essence of God, who is invisible (Exodus 33:20; Colossians 1:15; John 1:18); but some unmistakable evidence of His glorious presence (Exodus 33:2; Exodus 34:5). The latter clause should have been conjoined with the preceding one, thus: “not in dark speeches, and in a figure shall he behold the Lord.” The slight change in the punctuation removes all appearance of contradiction to Deuteronomy 4:15. |
Numbers 12:8
Mouth to mouth — That is, distinctly, by an articulate voice; immediately, not by an interpreter, nor by shadows and representations in his fancy, as it is in visions and dreams; and familiarly. Apparently — Plainly and certainly. Dark speeches — Not in parables, similitudes, dark resemblances; as by shewing a boiling pot, an almond tree, &c. to Jeremiah, a chariot with wheels, &c. to Ezekiel. The similitude — Not the face or essence of God, which no man can see and live, Exodus 33:20, but some singular manifestation of his glorious presence, as Exodus 33:11, Exodus 33:20. Yea the Son of God appeared to him in an human shape, which he took up for a time, that he might give him a foretaste of his future incarnation. My servant — Who is so in such an eminent and extraordinary manner. |
Numbers 12:8
With him will I speak mouth to mouth, even apparently, and not in dark speeches; and the similitude of the LORD shall he (e) behold: wherefore then were ye not afraid to speak against my servant Moses?
