Explanation of Numbers 14:22
Napsal(a) Henry MacLagan
Verse 22. Because the wicked who have received, in the natural life, instruction in Divine Good and Divine Truth internally and externally, and have had the opportunity of being regenerated through temptations and remains in all fullness, and yet have persisted in their own life of disobedience.
Hosea 4:11-14
11
Prostitution, wine, and new wine take away understanding.
12
My people consult with their wooden idol, and answer to a stick of wood. Indeed the spirit of prostitution has led them astray, and they have been unfaithful to their God.
13
They sacrifice on the tops of the mountains, and burn incense on the hills, under oaks and poplars and terebinths, because its shade is good. Therefore your daughters play the prostitute, and your brides commit adultery.
14
I will not punish your daughters when they play the prostitute, nor your brides when they commit adultery; because the men consort with prostitutes, and they sacrifice with the shrine prostitutes; so the people without understanding will come to ruin.
