Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(16) Let the Lord . . . --We have a remarkable instance here of the true greatness of Moses, as a type of Him whose words were, "Weep not for me, but weep for yourselves and for your children" (Luke 23:28). Instead of indulging in excessive grief, or in unavailing remorse, the mind of Moses was intently fixed upon the welfare of those for whose sake he had been willing that his own name should be blotted out of the Book (Exodus 32:32); and instead of appointing one of his own family, or the man of his own choice, as his successor, he commits the matter to God, and prays that He will appoint one who would be a true shepherd to the flock.Parallel Commentaries ...Hebrew“May the LORD,יְהוָ֔ה (Yah·weh)Noun - proper - masculine singularStrong's 3068: LORD -- the proper name of the God of Israelthe Godאֱלֹהֵ֥י (’ĕ·lō·hê)Noun - masculine plural constructStrong's 430: gods -- the supreme God, magistrates, a superlativeof the spiritsהָרוּחֹ֖ת (hā·rū·ḥōṯ)Article | Noun - common pluralStrong's 7307: Wind, breath, exhalation, life, anger, unsubstantiality, a region of the sky, spiritof allלְכָל־ (lə·ḵāl)Preposition-l | Noun - masculine singular constructStrong's 3605: The whole, all, any, everyflesh,בָּשָׂ֑ר (bā·śār)Noun - masculine singularStrong's 1320: Flesh, body, person, the pudenda of a, manappointיִפְקֹ֣ד (yip̄·qōḏ)Verb - Qal - Imperfect - third person masculine singularStrong's 6485: To visit, to oversee, muster, charge, care for, miss, deposita manאִ֖ישׁ (’îš)Noun - masculine singularStrong's 376: A man as an individual, a male personoverעַל־ (‘al-)PrepositionStrong's 5921: Above, over, upon, againstthe congregationהָעֵדָֽה׃ (hā·‘ê·ḏāh)Article | Noun - feminine singularStrong's 5712: A stated assemblageJump to PreviousAppoint Assembly Community Company Congregation Head Mankind Spirits
