Joshua 7:13

Studie

       

13 Arise, sanctify the people, and say, sanctify yourselves for tomorrow; for thus says Jehovah God of Israel, There is a devoted·​·thing among thee, O Israel, thou canst not rise·​·up before thine enemies until you remove the devoted·​·thing from among you.

Look

  

'Look not back behind thee,' as in Genesis 19:17, means that Lot, who represents the good of charity, should not look to matters of doctrine. 'To look up,' is to look to celestial things. In Genesis 18:22, looking signifies thinking because seeing denotes understanding.
