“And I stayed in the mount, according to the first time, forty days and forty nights; and the LORD hearkened unto me at that time also, and the LORD would not destroy thee.”
King James Version (KJV)
10:8 At that time - About that time, that is, when I was come down from the mount, as was said, #Deu 10:5|. To stand before the Lord - A phrase used concerning the prophets, #1Kings 17:1 18:15|, this being the posture of ministers. Hence the angels are said to stand, #2Chr 18:18 Luke 1:19|. To bless - The people, by performance of those holy ministrations for the people, and giving those instructions to them, to which God's blessing was promised; and this they did in God's name, that is, by command, and commission from him.
10:9 The Lord is his inheritance - That is, the Lord's portion, namely, tithes and offerings, which belong to God, are given by him to the Levites for their subsistence, from generation to generation.
10:11 Take thy journey before the people - 'Twas fit that he who had saved them from ruin by his intercession, should have the conduct and command of them. And herein he was a type of Christ, who, as he ever lives to make intercession for us, so has all power in heaven and in earth.
10:12 What doth he require - By way of duty and gratitude for such amazing mercies.
And I stayed in the mount, according to the first time, fortie dayes, and fortie nights: and the Lord hearkened vnto mee at that time also, and the Lord would not destroy thee.
