41 Da svarte I og sa til mig: Vi har syndet mot Herren; nu vil vi dra op og stride, således som Herren vår Gud har befalt oss. Og I omgjordet eder med eders stridsvåben hver og en, og I holdt det for en lett sak å dra op i fjellene.


Commentary on this verse  

By Alexander Payne

Verse 41. And when this is perceived the soul comes into a state of external humiliation and confession of sin from fear of punishment, and desires to enter into the heavenly state and combat with its evils, and to carry out in its own strength all the dictates of Divine Love and Wisdom. It calls to mind all the maxims of virtue and doctrinals which have been learned, and thinks itself quite prepared with these to enter at once into an interior and spiritual state.
