1There is more in that word shine, than the ordinary shining of the Sun; the Hebrew root signifies not only to shine, but to break forth with shining in some very illustrious manner) Deu. 33.2.) The Lord came from Sinai, and rose up from Seir unto them, he shined forth from Mou•t Paran. Moses carrieth a metaphor or borrowed speech quite through the verse, representing God as the Sun shining forth and showing himself to the people of Israel, in three sieve all places, & as it were in as many distinct degrees of glorious manifestation. His glory shined first from Mount Sinai, where he gave the L•w. Secondly, from Mount Seir or Edom, where (as I may say) he gave the Gospel, commanding Moses to make a B•az•n Serpent, that they who looked on it might be cued of the poisonous wounds given them by the fiery Serpents, (Numb. 21.) An illustrious type of Christ (Job. 3.14.) Thirdly, the glory of the Lord shined from Mount Paran, where Moses, by command from the Lo•d, made repetition of the Law, adding sundry Evangelical explications of it. In all which the Lo•d shined forth with a glorious brightness, infinitely exceeding that of the Sun. David in three of his Psalms speaking of the wonderful ⟨p. 541⟩appearances and discoveries of God, First, to save his people; Secondly, to judge and destroy his enemies, useth this word which here we translate shine, (Psal. 50.1.) The mighty God, even the Lord, hath spoken and called the Earth from the rising of the Sun, to the going down of the same; out of Zion the perfection of beauty God hath shined. That beauty with which God shines out of Zion in the divine splendour and holiness of his worship and ordinances is very glorious. Again, (Psal. 80.1.) Give ear O Shepherd of Israel, thou that leadest Joseph like a flock, thou that dwellest between the Cherubims, shine forth; that is, declare thy self in thy mighty power, as it followeth (vers. 2.) Before Ephraim Benjamin and Manasseh, stir up thy self, and come and save us. And as the gracious appearances of God for the saving of his people, so likewise the dreadful appearances of God for the destruction of his enemies, are expressed by this word (Psal. 94.1.) O Lord God, to whom vengeance belongeth, O God, to whom vengeance belongeth, show thy self: The Hebrew is (and so we put it in the Margin) shine forth.
