BaMidbar 16:38
Commentary on this verse
By Henry MacLagan
Verse 38. Even that external worship which is merely representative of what is internal, the abuse of which causes spiritual death; and that, therefore, it is to be made the ultimate form of true internal worship; for with the wicked, externals without a corresponding internal are, at least, an outward acknowledgement of the Lord, and to the man of the church are useful as guides and incentives to internal worship.
