经上所写「云彩遮盖他」,意思是云彩遮盖那山,不是遮盖 摩西 。「他召摩西」——那时 摩西 与以色列全会众都站在山下听着;神若不是要他上山,何必召他呢?这一句不过是为尊重 摩西 ——全会众都听见神向他说话。拉比拿单 说:摩西 确是蒙召进那云中的;只是他进去并非为着隔离洁身,这一句不过是要洗净他腹中的饮食,使他如同那不须饮食的事奉天使一样。

And that which is written: “And the cloud covered him,” means the cloud covered it, the mountain, and not him, Moses.

“And He called to Moses”; Moses and all of the Jewish people were standing at the foot of the mountain and listening, and if God did not mean that Moses was to climb the mountain, why did He call him?

The verse comes only to accord deference to Moses, as the entire nation heard God address him.

Rabbi Natan says: Moses was in fact called to enter the cloud; however, his entrance was not for the purpose of sequestering and purifying him, rather, the verse comes only to cleanse the food and drink that was in his intestines, to render him like the ministering angels who require neither food nor drink.
