Numbers 32:9

Study

       

9 and they went·​·up to the brook of Eshcol, and saw the land; they discouraged the heart of the sons of Israel, that they should not go·​·in to the land which Jehovah had given them.


Commentary on this verse  

By Henry MacLagan

Verse 9. For although thus instructed in the letter of the Word, and in the general doctrine of charity, and thus enabled to understand the character of the heavenly life, yet the natural man has not faith springing from love, and is disposed to retard the progress of the man of the church toward the heavenly state.
