Commentary on Psalms 99:6

Theological / Devotional

Moses and Aaron. With startling poetic abruptness, this verse presents examples of representative holy men who worshiped God, interceded for their fellows, and received answers to their prayers. The implication is that all—priests and people—should worship Jehovah. God calls for great interceders today.

Though not generally regarded as a priest, Moses is here numbered among the priests perhaps because of his position of spiritual leadership and because of his work in connection with the sanctuary (see Ex. 24:6–8; 32:30–32; 40:18–33; Lev. 8:6–30).

Samuel. Samuel is particularly mentioned, along with Moses, as having power with God in prayer (see Jer. 15:1; cf. 1 Sam. 7:8, 9; 1 Sam. 12:19–23).

Name. See on Ps. 7:17.
