The ark of the covenant was not merely a physical object but a profound symbol of God's presence among His people. In Hebrew, the word for "ark" is "aron," which signifies a chest or box, but in this context, it is the sacred chest containing the tablets of the covenant. The setting out of the ark indicates movement and guidance, emphasizing that the Israelites were not wandering aimlessly but were being led by God Himself. Historically, the ark was central to the camp, and its movement was a signal for the entire community to follow, underscoring the importance of divine leadership in their journey.<p><b>Moses would say</b><br />Moses, as the leader and prophet of Israel, had a unique relationship with God. His words here are not just a ritualistic chant but a prayerful invocation. The Hebrew root for "say" is "amar," which can mean to speak, declare, or command. This highlights Moses' role as an intermediary between God and the people, speaking words that were both a command and a prayer. Moses' utterance reflects his dependence on God for protection and guidance, setting an example for the Israelites to follow.<p><b>Rise up, O LORD</b><br />This phrase is a call to action directed towards God. The Hebrew word for "rise" is "qum," which means to arise, stand up, or become powerful. It is a plea for God to manifest His power and presence actively. The invocation "O LORD" uses the sacred name of God, Yahweh, which signifies His eternal and unchanging nature. This appeal is not just for physical movement but for divine intervention and leadership, acknowledging that without God's active presence, the journey would be in vain.<p><b>may Your enemies be scattered</b><br />Here, Moses prays for divine protection against adversaries. The Hebrew word for "enemies" is "oyeb," which refers to those who are hostile or opposed. The scattering of enemies is a common biblical theme, symbolizing God's power to protect His people and ensure their victory. This phrase reflects the belief that God fights on behalf of His people, and His presence is a deterrent to any opposition. It is a reminder of the spiritual warfare that accompanies the physical journey, where God is the ultimate defender.<p><b>may those who hate You flee before You</b><br />This part of the verse continues the theme of divine protection. The word "hate" in Hebrew is "sane," which implies intense aversion or hostility. Those who hate God are not just personal enemies of the Israelites but are opposed to God's purposes and plans. The imagery of fleeing suggests a complete and utter defeat, where the presence of God causes His adversaries to retreat in fear. This reflects the power and holiness of God, who cannot be opposed by any force. It serves as an assurance to the Israelites that with God leading them, no enemy can stand against them.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/ellicott/numbers/10.htm">Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers</a></div>(35-36) <span class= "bld">And it came to pass . . . --</span>It appears from these words that the marches of the Israelites began and ended with prayer, a significant lesson to the Church of all after ages. It is deserving of observation that the prayers were offered by Moses, not by Aaron. The inverted <span class= "ital">nuns, </span>or parenthetical marks, which are found in a large number of Hebrew manuscripts at the beginning and end of these verses, are thought by some to denote their insertion as a break in the narrative whilst others have ascribed to them a mystical meaning. The words, "Return, O Lord," Bishop "Wordsworth observes," pre-announced the blessed time of rest and peace, when God <span class= "ital">would abide with His Church </span>on <span class= "ital">earth, </span>by the gift of the Holy Ghost, and will <span class= "ital">tabernacle </span>for ever with His people in heavenly rest and joy."

They had, as it were, a sacramental character; they were visible signs, corresponding to invisible realities, as the movements of the hands on the dial correspond to the action of the machinery within. When the ark and the cloud set forward, it was the Almighty God going on before to victory; when the ark and the cloud rested, it was the all-merciful God returning to protect and cherish his own. This is clearly recognized in the morning and evening prayer of Moses. The typical and spiritual character of that setting forward and that resting could not well have been lost upon any religious mind - that God going before us is the certain and abiding pledge of final victory, that God returning to us is the only hope of present safety. <span class="cmt_word">Rise up, Lord, and</span> <span class="cmt_word">let thine enemies be scattered.</span> The sixty-eighth Psalm, which we have learnt to associate with the wonders of Pentecost and the triumphs of the Church on earth, seems to be an expansion of Moses' morning prayer. <span class="p"><br /><br /></span><span class="versiontext"><a href="/commentaries/numbers/10-35.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a></span><span class="p"><br /><br /><br /></span><a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div><span class="word">Whenever</span><br /><span class="heb">וַיְהִ֛י</span> <span class="translit">(way·hî)</span><br /><span class="parse">Conjunctive waw | Verb -
