SEV Biblia, Chapter 18:16
Conforme a todas las cosas que pediste al SEÑOR tu Dios en Horeb el día de la asamblea, diciendo: No vuelva yo a oír la voz del SEÑOR mi Dios, ni vea yo más este gran fuego, para que no muera.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 16. According to all that thou desiredst of the Lord thy God at Horeb , etc.] This was promised them, in answer to their request at Horeb or Mount Sinai, when the law was delivered to them in the terrible manner it was: in the day of the assembly; in which the tribes were gathered together to receive the law, when they were assembled at the foot of the mount for that purpose: saying, let me not hear again the voice of the Lord my God ; which was such a voice of words, attended with so much terror, that they that heard entreated the word might not be spoken to them any more, as the apostle says in ( Hebrews 12:19), neither let me see this great fire any more, that I die not ; out of which the Lord spoke; the congregation of Israel is here represented speaking as if a single person.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 15-22 - It is here promised concerning Christ, that there should come Prophet, great above all the prophets; by whom God would make know himself and his will to the children of men, more fully and clearl than he had ever done before. He is the Light of the world, Joh 8:12 He is the World by whom God speaks to us, Joh 1:1; Heb 1:2. In his birth he should be one of their nation. In his resurrection he shoul be raised up at Jerusalem, and from thence his doctrine should go fort to all the world. Thus God, having raised up his Son Christ Jesus, sen him to bless us. He should be like unto Moses, only above him. Thi prophet is come, even JESUS; and is "He that should come," and we ar to look for no other. The view of God which he gives, will not terrif or overwhelm, but encourages us. He speaks with fatherly affection an Divine authority united. Whoever refuses to listen to Jesus Christ shall find it is at his peril; the same that is the Prophet is to be his Judge, Joh 12:48. Woe then to those who refuse to hearken to Hi voice, to accept His salvation, or yield obedience to His sway! But happy they who trust in Him, and obey Him. He will lead them in the paths of safety and peace, until He brings them to the land of perfec light, purity, and happiness. Here is a caution against false prophets It highly concerns us to have a right touchstone wherewith to try the word we hear, that we may know what that word is which the Lord has no spoken. Whatever is against the plain sense of the written word, of which gives countenance or encouragement to sin, we may be sure is no that which the Lord has spoken __________________________________________________________________
