Deuteronomy 14:29

Study

       

29 and the Levite, because he has no portion nor inheritance with you, and the foreigner living among you, and the fatherless, and the widow, who are within your gates, shall come, and shall eat and be satisfied; that Yahweh your God may bless you in all the work of your hand which you do.


Commentary on this verse  

By Alexander Payne

Verse 29. And the desires for genuine good which you have (because they are of the Lord, and are not derived from the peculiar disposition of the man), and those principles which desire instruction in good and truth, and those which are in a state of innocence and charity, and desire to know and do what is good, and those which are in a state of truth and not yet in good, which are ready to be introduced into more interior states, shall be conjoined more closely to the soul, and shall appropriate the increase the Lord has given you and be satisfied; that the Divine Goodness and Wisdom may bless and vivify with real life every endeavour and act done with a view to advance in the spiritual life.
