| From
Matthew Henry's
Commentary.
| "The Spirit of God is not
confined to the tabernacle, but, like the wind, blows where He
listeth. And they that humble themselves shall be exalted; and those
who are most fit for government, are least ambitious of it." |
|
| From Wesley's Notes.
| "So we ought to be pleased,
that God is glorified and good done, tho' to the lessening of our
own honour." |
|
| From the Commentary on the Whole Bible
(Jamieson, Fausset and Brown, 1871).
| "They did not repair with the
rest to the tabernacle, either from modesty in shrinking from the
assumption of a public office, or being prevented by some ceremonial
defilement. They, however, received the gifts of the Spirit as well
as their brethren. And when Moses was urged to forbid their
prophesying, his answer displayed a noble disinterestedness as well
as zeal for the glory of God akin to that of our Lord (Mr
9:39)." |

| "The ruach who already
rested with many special gifts upon Moses, and who now was also to be
seen by Israel (by means of this public display) as resting with some of
the same special gifts upon the seventy assistants of Moses, was
clearly, the Holy Spirit "who proceedeth from the Father and the
Son" and "who spake by the prophets" (Nicene Creed)." |
