When confronted by a rebellious assembly, Moses and Aaron's immediate response was to retreat to the tabernacle, the place of God's presence. Commentators explain that falling on their faces was an act of desperate, intercessory prayer—seeking God's mercy for the very people threatening them. This provides a powerful model for believers: in crisis, the first and best move is to turn to God in humble prayer.
