4 because they met you not with bread and with water in the way, when ye came forth out of Egypt, and because they hired against thee Balaam the son of Beor from Pethor of Mesopotamia, to curse thee.


Commentary on this verse  

By Alexander Payne

Verse 4. Because (such principles) do not supply true spiritual nourishment of good and truth when the soul leaves natural things for the regenerate life; and because they endeavour to pervert knowledges of truth which they suppose favour their doctrines, so as to oppose and infest those things in the soul which are truly regenerating, and to say that they are not from heaven.
