33 It shall not be chosen neither good nor bad, neither shall it be changed for another. If any man change it: both that which was changed, and that for which it was changed, shall be sanctified to the Lord, and shall not be redeemed.


Commentary on this verse  

By Henry MacLagan

Verse 33. For a man may not, from his self-derived intelligence estimate his own quality as to good or evil; nor is it allowable to go back from good to evil; if, in the fluctuations of temptations, he fall into evil, he must worship the Lord both by resistance to evil, and determination to good, and, in this case, both states are sanctified; nor can man then pass from a state of good and truth to a state of evil and falsity.
