出埃及记 33章20节 到 33章20节 背景资料 上一笔 下一笔

     * Thou canst not.
       This is well explained by Rabbi Jehudah, in Sepher Cosri, (P.
       iv.  3.)  "Of that divine glory mentioned in the Scripture,
       there is one degree which the eyes of the prophets were able
       to explore; another which all the Israelites saw, as the
       cloud and consuming fire; the third is so bright, and so
       dazzling, that no mortal is able to comprehend it; but should
       anyone venture to look on it, his whole frame would be
       dissolved."  In such inconceivable splendour is the Divine
       Majesty revealed to the inhabitants of the celestial world,
       where he is said to "dwell in the light which no man can
       approach unto."  (1; Ti 6:16.)  By the "face of God,"
       therefore, we are to understand that light inaccessible
       before which angels may stand, but which would be so
       insufferable to mortal eyes, that no man could see it and
       live.
