This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Perceiving both priests and people struck with horror and wonder at this darkness, he minds them that this was no sign of God’s dislike or disfavour, as some of them might possibly imagine; but a token of his approbation, and grace, and special presence among them.
The Lord said; not in express words, but by plain consequence, because he hath declared, both by his words and actions, that he would manifest his presence with and dwelling among his people by a dark cloud, in which he would appear. See Exo_13:21,22 24:16 40:35 Num_9:15 Deu_4:11 5:22 Psa_18:12 97:2.
