But the word that is here translated Holds his peace, It hath more in it then mere silence, for the Hebrews have another word to signify mere silence of speech: but this signifies a staying of the heart, that it doth not further proceed in any trouble of spirit, a silence in the very heart, and staying of it; a staying of the motions ⟨p. 8⟩of the heart. I find the same word to be used in Scripture, when Joshua said to the Sun stand still, stay thy self on Gibeon, Jos. 10.12. It's the same word that is here translated and Aaron held his peace, that is, he was stayed from further vexing or troubling of himself, or being disquieted. Whereas his heart was in a strong violent motion: Now Moses speech did stop him, and gave a stop to his heart to make it stand still in a wonderful manner, As the Sun, when Joshua spake to it to stand still. As if the Lord should have spoken to his heart, Aaron thy heart is in a mighty strong motion, but consider that I must be Sanctified in those that draw nigh me; and let all those motions of thy heart be stopped and quiet. Thus now you see the meaning of the Scripture, and the scope of it. Now in this Scripture you have these Three special and notable Points.
