§. 52. Of the meaning and method of the 47 Verse.
NUMB. 16. 47.And Aaron took as Moses commanded, and ran into the midst of the congregation: and behold the plague was begun among the people: and he put incense, and made an atonement for the people.
NVMB. 16. 47.And Aaron tooke as Moses commanded, and ran into the midst of the congregation: and behold the plague was begun among the people: and he put incense, and made an attonement for the people.
The fore-mentioned charge for staying the plague is here noted to be put in execution: for it is expressly said, that Aaron took as Moses commanded. That is, He took a censer, and put fire therein from off the altar; For these are the things which Moses commanded in the former verse. This word, *commanded is fitly translated. For though usually the word, in the first conjugation import no more then to speak. Yet ain the second, an emphasis is added by a doubled letter: and so, especially if the Person that spake, Moses, the Prince and chief Governor; and the Matter spoken, which was a Divine direction for staying the plague, be duly weighed, it will appear to have the force of a command.
