5 Gray, E. Bi. , col. 5035. 6 Ex. Xxxiii. 20.
' Ex. Xxiv. 9 f.
v. ] THE APPROACH OF GOD TO MAN 107 with God at Peniel is full of the deepest moral and spiritual suggestiveness for the modern mind. But we can hardly exaggerate the crude realism of its original meaning, and of the words, ' I have seen God face to face, and my life is preserved '.^ (6) A miracle for the Hebrew mind is what its etymology ought to imply to us ; it is simply ' something wonderful ' from the standpoint of the observer..., not by comparison with any estabhshed natural order existing in quasi- independence of God. ' Every event in Nature is looked at merely as a single act of God's free will, rain and sun- shine as well as earthquake and prodigy '.^ Accordingly, what the Hebrew mind regards as a miracle ^ — a wonder- ful manifestation of the divine presence — may or may not be a miracle according to the popular meaning of the word to-day. The Hebrew could regard the drowning of the Egyptians in the Red Sea and the speaking of Balaam's ass as both miracles; whereas the first would ordinarily be explained to-day as a ' natural ' event due to meteorological causes, and the second as a piece of un- natural folk-lore.
