Matthew Poole and continuators on Numbers 7:89

89 And when Moses was gone into the tabernacle of the congregation , to speak with him , then he heard the voice of one speaking unto him from off the mercy-seat , that was upon the ark of testimony, from between the two cherubims: and he spake unto him.

Into which Moses, though no Priest, was permitted to enter by Gods special license.

(i. e.) To consult God upon occasion.

Which Moses standing without the vail could easily hear. And this seems to be added in this place, to sh[illegible: 1+ letters]w that when men had done their part in the dedication of the Tabernacle, Altars, &c. God was not wanting in the performance of his part, and promise made, Exod. 25. 22.
