At nangyari, pagka si Moises ay lumalabas na napasa sa Tolda, na ang buong bayan ay bumabangon at tumatayo, bawa't lalake sa pintuan ng kaniyang tolda at pinanonood si Moises hanggang sa makapasok sa Tolda.
Exodo 33:8
Rise
It is common in the Bible for people to "rise up," and it would be easy to pass over the phrase as simply describing a physical action. But in fact it represents an elevation in spiritual state, moving to a more internal frame of mind closer to the Lord. Often it has to do with understanding a new or important idea; we "rise up" to a state of greater perception and enlightenment. Obviously context is crucial to the exact meaning of the phrase in a given passage -- it matters greatly who it is that is rising up, and why.
