Numbers 14:14

Study

       

14 and they will say it to those who dwell in this land; for they have heard that Thou, Jehovah art among this people, that Thou, Jehovah art seen eye to eye, and that Thy cloud stands over them, and that Thou goest before them, in a pillar of a cloud by·​·day, and in a pillar of fire by night.


Commentary on this verse  

By Henry MacLagan

Verse 14. And although they dread the incursions of falsity even in their state of prevailing good, yet even their natural powers are under the influence of that good, since they are in truths interiorly, and in the letter of the Word exteriorly, and thence have truths accommodated to their states of brightness, and also to their states of obscurity.
