§ 42 All things being thus disposed, in the morning of the third day the Appearance• of Gods glorious presence began to be manifested, ver. 16. And it came to pass, on the third day in the morning, that there were thunders, and lightnings, and a thick cloud upon the Mount, and the voice of the Trumpet exceeding loud, so that all the People that was in the Camp trembled, v. 18. And Mount Sinai was altogether on a smoke, because the Lord descended upon it in fire, and the smoke thereof ascended as the smoke of a Furnace, and the whole Mount quaked greatly. That all these things were the effects of the Ministry of Angels preparing the place of Gods glorious presence, and attending upon him in their work, the Scripture elsewhere testifies, and we have before manifested, so that there is no need here farther to insist upon it.

§ 43 Upon this preparation for the descent of the glory of God, upon the sight of his harbingers and evidence of his coming, Moses brought forth the people [Greek or Hebrew], to meet with God. He brought them out of the Camp which was at some farther distance, unto the bounds that by Gods prescription he had set unto Mount Sinai. And Rashi on the place observes not unfitly, that this going of the people to meet with God, argues that the Glory of God came also to meet with them, as the Bride-groom goeth out to meet the Bride; for it was a marriage Covenant that God then took the people into, whence it is said, that God came from Sinai, namely to meet the people.
