9 Moses therefore made a brazen serpent, and set it up for a sign: which when they that were bitten looked upon, they were healed.


Commentarius in hunc versum  

By Henry MacLagan

Verse 9. And therefore it happens in the church, generally, that the Human of the Lord is acknowledged to be Divine by such combats and victories; and that when man, in temptations, suffers from evils arising from the abuse of his sensual nature, and by application to the Lord and faith in Him, conquers those evils, he comes into the enjoyment of eternal life.
