2914. Verse 4 I am a stranger and an inhabitant among you; give me possession of a grave among you, and I will bury my dead from before me.

'I am a stranger and an inhabitant among you' means their first state when, although the Lord was not known to them, He was nevertheless able to be with them. 'Give me possession of a grave among you' means that they were able to be regenerated. 'And I will bury my dead from before me' means that He would emerge and rise up out of the night prevailing among them.
