Moses and Aaron went into the tent of meeting. When they came out and blessed the people, the glory of the Lord appeared to all the people.I've always wondered what the glory of the Lord is. I've heard all kinds of ideas and theories and explanations, but it seems to all be guesswork. Even some Jews I've heard explain it will couch their explanations in hypotheticals. It seems that no one knows what this consisted of.
From what I've read in other passages, I think it is at least partially a great light, given the reaction people had to Moses' face. But somehow I don't think that's all. I think there must be some kind of special spiritual quality to His glory, though I can't imagine what that would mean. I've never been one who is able to describe a spiritual presence, so maybe I just won't understand until I experience it. But how I look forward to that time when I do.
