20
και ειπεν αποστρεψω το προσωπον μου απ' αυτων και δειξω τι εσται αυτοις επ' εσχατων οτι γενεα εξεστραμμενη εστιν υιοι οις ουκ εστιν πιστις εν αυτοις
Deuteronomy 32:20
Explanation of Deuteronomy 32:20
By Alexander Payne
Verse 20. And it was seen to be necessary that interior good and truth should be hidden, lest in the end they should be profaned; for the mind in this state is in a very perverse condition, and gives birth to ideas in which is no truth.
Numbers 23:7-10
7
He took up his parable, and said, "From Aram has Balak brought me, the king of Moab from the mountains of the East. Come, curse Jacob for me. Come, defy Israel.
8
How shall I curse whom God has not cursed? How shall I defy whom Yahweh has not defied?
9
For from the top of the rocks I see him. From the hills I see him. Behold, it is a people that dwells alone, and shall not be reckoned among the nations.
10
Who can count the dust of Jacob, or number the fourth part of Israel? Let me die the death of the righteous! Let my last end be like his!"
