7. Moses his petition unto God for his presence, and the manifestation 1of Gods glory unto him, with Gods answer. Howsoever this doth not immediately concern the promulgation of the Law, yet, because it's inserted before the reparation of the Tables again, and maketh for the honour which God put upon Moses, while he was settling the laws of Israel, we will give a touch at it. Cap. 33. ver. 12. Moses desireth Gods presence to be with him in conducting of the people of Israel; and, as a sign, whereby he might be confirmed of his presence, he desireth to see Gods glory. It is hard to say, what was Moses his petition in this thing. I cannot be of their mind, who make this only a vision, and nothing really acted: nor of theirs, who think that Moses desired to see the essence of God. I will not dispute that Question, Whether the bodily eyes of a man may be lifted up to that perfection, as to see God, who is a spirit.
