At that time - About that time, that is, when I was come down from the mount, as was said, Deu 10:5. To stand before the Lord - A phrase used concerning the prophets, Kg1 17:1, Kg1 18:15, this being the posture of ministers. Hence the angels are said to stand, Ch2 18:18; Luk 1:19. To bless - The people, by performance of those holy ministrations for the people, and giving those instructions to them, to which God's blessing was promised; and this they did in God's name, that is, by command, and commission from him. Deuteronomy 10:9
