SEV Biblia, Chapter 33:11
Y hablaba el SEÑOR a Moisés cara a cara, como habla cualquiera a su amigo. Y se volvía al campamento; mas el joven Josué, su criado, hijo de Nun, nunca se apartaba de en medio del tabernáculo.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Exodus 33:11
Verse 11. The Lord spake unto Moses face to face] That there was no personal appearance here we may readily conceive; and that the communications made by God to Moses were not by visions, ecstacies, dreams, inward inspirations, or the mediation of angels, is sufficiently evident: we may therefore consider the passage as implying that familiarity and confidence with which the Divine Being treated his servant, and that he spake with him by articulate sounds in his own language, though no shape or similitude was then to be seen. Joshua, the son of Nun, a young man] There is a difficulty here. Joshua certainly was not a young man in the literal sense of the word; "but he was called so," says Mr. Ainsworth, "In respect of his service, not of his years; for he was now above fifty years old, as may be gathered from Josh. xxiv. 29. But because ministry and service are usually by the younger sort, all servants are called young men, Gen. xiv. 24." See also Gen. xxii. 3, and Genesis xli. 12. Perhaps the word r[n naar, here translated young man, means a single person, one unmarried.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 7-11 - Moses took the tabernacle, and pitched it without the camp. This seem to have been a temporary building, set up for worship, and at which he judged disputes among the people. The people looked after him; the were very desirous to be at peace with God, and concerned to know what would come to pass. The cloudy pillar which had withdrawn from the cam when it was polluted with idolatry, now returned. If our hearts go forth toward God to meet him, he will graciously come to meet us.
