4. The people mourn there

9. The Lord talks familiarly with Moses
12. Moses prevails with God, and desires to see his glory














(8) When Moses went out . . . all the people rose up.--As a mark of respect and reverence. (Comp. Esther 5:9.)

The cloudy pillar descended.--During the stay of the Israelites in the plain at the foot of Sinai, the ordinary place occupied by the pillar of the cloud was the summit of the mount (Exodus 19:16; Exodus 19:20; Exodus 20:21; Exodus 24:15-18; Exodus 34:5). At this time, whenever Moses entered the temporary tabernacle, the cloud came down from Sinai, ascending again when he quitted it. . . .

Verse 8. - When Moses went out .... all the people rose up. Probably Moses "went out" at a set time, or at set times, each day; and the people watched for his going, and "rose up," as a mark of respect and reverence. They felt that he went to the tent mainly to pray for them.
