Summary Of Commentaries Associated With The Selected Verse
| Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834] |
Which dwellest between the cherubims - The reference is to the shechinah, or miraculous glory, which from time to time appeared above the mercy-seat from between the two cherubims, whose wings overshadowed the ark of the covenant (Kg1 6:23-27; compare Exo 25:22; Lev 16:2, etc.).
Thou art the God, even thou alone - This is the protest of the pure theist against the intense polytheism of Sennacherib's letter, which assumes that gods are only gods of particular nations, and that Hezekiah's God is but one out of an indefinite number, no stronger or more formidable than the rest. |
| Explanatory Notes on the Whole Bible, by John Wesley [1754-65] |
| O Lord God of Israel, &c. - He calls him the God of Israel, because Israel was his peculiar people; but yet the God of the whole earth, not as Sennacherib fancied, the God of Israel only. Let them say what they will, thou art sovereign Lord, the God of gods, even thou alone: Universal Lord of all the kingdoms of the earth; and rightful Lord; for thou hast made heaven and earth. Being creator of all, by an incontestable title thou art owner and ruler of all. |
| Adam Clarke Commentary on the Whole Bible - Published 1810-1826 |
| Thou art the God, etc. - Thou art not only God of Israel, but God also of Assyria, and of all the nations of the world. |
2 And the LORD [03068] said [0559] unto Moses [04872], Speak [01696] unto Aaron [0175] thy brother [0251], that he come [0935] not at all times [06256] into the holy [06944] place within [01004] the vail [06532] before [06440] the mercy seat [03727], which is upon the ark [0727]; that he die [04191] not: for I will appear [07200] in the cloud [06051] upon the mercy [03727] seat.
22 And there I will meet [03259] with thee, and I will commune [01696] with thee from above the mercy seat [03727], from between [0996] the two [08147] cherubims [03742] which are upon [05921] the ark [0727] of the testimony [05715], of all things which I will give thee in commandment [06680] unto the children [01121] of Israel [03478].
23 And within the oracle [01687] he made [06213] two [08147] cherubims [03742] of olive [08081] tree [06086], each ten [06235] cubits [0520] high [06967].
24 And five [02568] cubits [0520] was the one [0259] wing [03671] of the cherub [03742], and five [02568] cubits [0520] the other [08145] wing [03671] of the cherub [03742]: from the uttermost part [07098] of the one wing [03671] unto the uttermost part [07098] of the other [03671] were ten [06235] cubits [0520].
25 And the other [08145] cherub [03742] was ten [06235] cubits [0520]: both [08147] the cherubims [03742] were of one [0259] measure [04060] and one [0259] size [07095].
26 The height [06967] of the one [0259] cherub [03742] was ten [06235] cubits [0520], and so was it of the other [08145] cherub [03742].
27 And he set [05414] the cherubims [03742] within [08432] the inner [06442] house [01004]: and they stretched forth [06566] the wings [03671] of the cherubims [03742], so that the wing [03671] of the one [0259] touched [05060] the one wall [07023], and the wing [03671] of the other [08145] cherub [03742] touched [05060] the other [08145] wall [07023]; and their wings [03671] touched [05060] one [03671] another [03671] in the midst [08432] of the house [01004].
