Bible Note: Hello! The New Scofield NIV Study Bible states, "EXODUS 33:11 - 'Face': Num. 12:8; Deut. 34:10" The Ryrie Expanded Edition NASB states, "33:18-23 Moses’ request for a vision of God was granted, though not fully and with great precautions. Moses’ prayer was fully answered on the Mount of Transfiguration centuries later (Luke 9:32). Cf. note on John 1:18." The Disciple's NIV Study Bible puts it this way, "EXODUS 33:11-17 Prayer, Personal—Prayer is a conversation between friends. Moses was intimate with God, "face to face" (Dt 34:10). The seeing was spiritual, not literal (33:20, 23). Abraham was also called the friend of God (2 Ch 20:7; Isa 41:8; Jas 2:23). Prayer involves human search for direction, instruction, and confidence of God’s presence. It brings identity to God’s people. God responds to the personal requests of His friends." These provide interesting points of view regarding Moses' communication with God in Exodus 33:11.. Nolan |
