Comp. בוקק maketh empty (24:1). נבקה is Niphal of בקק, and is formed like נסבה and it will be wound about¹The regular form of the Niphal third person fem. sing. past of בקק and סבב is נָסַבָּה נָבַקָּה, but the reduplication is very often neglected in the verbs עיע. Comp. יָזְמוּ ,וְנָבְלָה (Gen. 11:6,7) from בלל and זטם. (Ez. 41:7).

ותקהל העדה אל פתח אהל מועד, “and the assembly was gathered in the entrance of the Tent of Meeting.” This required a miracle, of course This is one of several places in the Bible where a very small area was able to accommodate a very large number of people (compare Tanchuma Tzav 12.). When Moses was told to assemble all the people at the entrance of the Tabernacle, he turned to G’d saying: “how can six hundred thousand men and six hundred thousand youngsters fit into the entrance [an area of 50 by 100 cubits] of the Tabernacle? G’d replied: “is this what you are concerned about? Was not the heaven at one time no bigger than the eye of a needle and I managed to fit the entire earth through it?” G’d quoted Isaiah 40,22: “Who spread out the skies like gauze, stretched them out like a tent to dwell in?” At the revelation at Mount Sinai G’d appeared surrounded by 22,000 chariots filled with ministering angels as we know from Psalms 68,18: ‘G’d’s chariots, myriads upon myriads, thousands upon thousands, the Lord is among them as in Sinai in holiness.’ Each of these chariots was similar to the one Ezekiel saw in his vision. Seeing this was so, how could the mountain have supported all these chariots? Clearly, miracles happened which temporarily suspended the rules applying to terrestrial space. At the time G’d had told the mountain: “expand and accommodate all the loyal people.” When the Jewish people crossed the Jordan river 40 years later the entire Jewish people found space between the staves of the Holy Ark behind the Priests who marched ahead. This is based on Joshua 3,9: “Joshua said to the Children of Israel: ‘come close and listen to the words of the Lord. your G’d.’” In the future these miracles will be re-enacted when all the people ever since Adam who qualify for resurrection will have to be accommodated on earth. Aren’t they going to complain that they do not find room to stand? However, G’d promised that at that time “I will expand the size of Jerusalem” as prophesied by Isaiah 54,2 who quotes G’d as addressing Jerusalem saying to her: “enlarge the size of your tent, extend the size of your dwelling; do not stint!” Thus far the comments of the Midrash Tanchuma Tzav 12 on the subject.

נבלה Fadeth away.⁵Literally, according to I. E., is confounded. Niphal of בלל, to confound; comp. ונבקה, and it will be emptied⁶A V., Shall fall. (19:3); ונסבה and it will be surrounded⁷A. V., There was a winding about. (Ez. 41:7); the second נבלה might, however, be the Kal of נבל, to fade; comp. נבול תבול, thou wilt surely wear away⁸The two roots נבל and בלל are similar in form and meaning; the former to fade away, the latter to confound, Niphal to be confounded or to be destroyed. נָבְלָה is therefore either the third person feminine Kal of נבל or the same person Niphal of בלל; the regular form would be נָבַלָּה, but the Dagesh is sometimes omitted, as in the instances quoted by the author. נָבַקָּה═נָבְקָה נָסַבָּה═נָסְבָה. (Ex. 18:18).
