1070. Verse 21 And he drank of the wine, and was drunk, and he was uncovered in the middle of his tent.

'And he drank wine' means that he wished to probe into matters of faith. 'And he was drunk' means that he consequently sank into errors. 'And he was uncovered in the middle of his tent' means resulting perversities, 'the middle of the tent' being the chief thing of faith.
