And he said, go forth and stand upon the mount before the Lord, etc.] Who would appear there as he had to Moses formerly, though not in the same manner: and, behold, the Lord passed by; or was about to pass, for as yet he had not; his messengers first went before him: and a great and strong wind rent the mountains, and brake in pieces the rocks before the Lord; strong enough to do all this, and so it might: but the Lord was not in the wind; as he sometimes is, (Na 1:3), he spake to Job out of a whirlwind, (<183801>Job 38:1), and after the wind an earthquake; that shook the earth all around, and the mountain also, as it did when the law was given on it, (<196808>Psalm 68:8) but the Lord was not in the earthquake; as he was when it trembled in the times of Moses, (<021918>Exodus 19:18).
