8 And concerning the cities which ye shall give of the possession of the children of Israel, from the many ye shall take many; and from the few ye shall take few: every one according to his inheritance which he inheriteth shall give of his cities unto the Levites.


Commentary on this verse  

By Henry MacLagan

Verse 8. Moreover, this provision in the external man for the reception and support of charity, is to be according to the state of the internal; for if the internal is abundant in charity, its external will be in agreement therewith as to truths, and therefore much charity is rich in truths, and little charity is poor in truths. For the man of the church must acknowledge that he has all truths from the Lord through charity and for the sake of charity.
