2158. 'Do not, I beg of you, pass from over your servant' means His intense desire, for these words, as stated just above, are similar in meaning to those preceding them; that is to say, these words as well imply a respectful regard, and at the same time imply an affection that leads to a desire that what He had now begun to perceive should not pass away.
