The leaders of Israel, including Moses, Aaron, Nadab, Abihu, and seventy elders, are granted a unique privilege to witness God's presence. This encounter is significant because it demonstrates God's grace and mercy. Despite the awe-inspiring nature of God's presence, He does not harm them, which is a testament to His desire for a relationship with His people. The act of eating and drinking in God's presence is symbolic of fellowship and communion, underscoring the peace and covenant relationship that God offers. This scene foreshadows the ultimate communion believers have with God through Christ. It reassures us that God is not distant or unapproachable but rather invites us into a personal and intimate relationship. This passage encourages believers to seek God's presence in their lives, knowing that He welcomes us with grace and desires to share in our daily experiences. It is a reminder of the peace and joy found in God's presence and the assurance of His covenant promises.
But God did not raise his hand against these leaders of the Israelites; they saw God, and they ate and drank.
