5 Mosebok 9:5

Studie

       

5 Ikke for din rettferdighets skyld eller for ditt opriktige hjertes skyld kommer du inn i deres land og tar det i eie; men det er for deres ugudelighets skyld Herren din Gud driver disse hedninger ut for dig, og for å holde det ord Herren har svoret dine fedre Abraham, Isak og Jakob.

Napsal(a) Alexander Payne

Verse 5. Not for any merit of your, nor for any integrity in your own heart, are you introduced into the heavenly states which come from their destruction; but because of the horrible wickedness of these evils the Divine Love and Wisdom drive them out from the interiors of your soul that He may have compassion upon you, as promised in the Word to all who receive good from Him, whether in the celestial, spiritual, or natural degree of the mind. (See note, Chapter 1, verse 8.)
