As the tabernacle was erected on the first day of the first
month, in the second year of their departure from Egypt, (Ex
40:17,) and this happened on the first day of the second
month, in the same year, it is evident that the transactions
related in the preceding book must all have taken place in
the space of one month, and during the time the Israelites
were encamped at mount Sinai.

As the [d,] {daleth} is very like the [r,] {resh,}
they might be easily mistaken for each other; and hence this
person being called both D(8975)el and R(8975)el, may be easily
accounted for. The Septuagint and Syriac have Reuel, in this
chapter; and in ch. 2:14, the Samaritan, Vulgate, and Arabic
have Deuel, instead of Reuel, with which reading a vast number
of MSS. concur, and which is also supported by ch. 7:42, 10:20.
We may therefore safely conclude, the D(8975)el, and not R(8975)el,
was the original reading.

Thus we find Judah the most populous tribe, and Manasseh the
least so; the difference between them being as great as
42,000. Jacob had given Judah the pre-eminence in his
prophetic blessing; and that tribe was to have the precedency
in the encampments of Israel: accordingly God had increased
them more than any of their brethren. Ephraim and Manasseh,
according to the same prophecy, were numbered as distinct
tribes, Ephraim having the superiority, as it was foretold;
and Joseph indeed appears "a fruitful bough."

The Israelites, it appears, encamped in four grand divisions,
with the tabernacle in the centre; though at some distance
from it. The form of the camp was quadrangular, containing,
according to Scheuchzer, a little more than twelve square
miles. Under each of the four divisions, three tribes were
placed, under one general standard. Between these four great
camps and the tabernacle, were pitched four smaller camps of
the priests and Levites, who were in immediate attendance
upon it; the camp of Moses, and of Aaron and his sons, being
on the east side of the tabernacle, where the entrance was.
Judah was placed on the east, and under him he had Issachar
and Zebulun; on the south was Reuben, and under him Simeon
and Gad; on the west was Ephraim, and under him Manasseh and
Benjamin; and Dan was on the north, and under him Asher and
Naphtali. Every tribe had its particular standard, probably
with the name of the tribe embroidered with large letters.
It seems highly improbable that the figures of animals should
have been painted on them, as the Jewish writers assert; for
even in after ages, when Vitellius wished to march through
Judea, their great men besought him to march another way, as
the law of the land did not permit images (such as were on
the Roman standard) to be brought into it. Josephus Ant. 1.

The males of all the other tribes were numbered from twenty
years old and upwards; but, had the Levites been numbered in
this way, they would not have been nearly equal in number to
the first-born of the twelve tribes. Add to this, that as
there must have been first-born of all ages in the other
tribes, it was necessary that the Levites, who were to be
their substitutes, should also be of all ages; and it appears
to have been partly on this ground, that the Levites were
numbered from a month old and upwards.

From this and the next chapter, we see the very severe labour
which the Levites were to perform, while the journeyings of
the Israelites lasted. When we consider, that there was not
less than 14; tons 266; lbs. of metal employed in the
tabernacle, (see note on Ex 38:24,) besides the immense
weight of the skins, hangings, cords, boards, and posts, we
shall find it was no easy matter to transport this moveable
temple from place to place. The Gershonites, who were 7,500
in number had to carry the tent, coverings, vail, hangings of
the court, cords, etc. (ver. 25, 26); the Kohathites, who
were 8,600, the ark, table, candlestick, altars, and
instruments of the sanctuary (ver. 31); and the Merarites,
who were 6,200, the boards, bars, sockets, and all matters
connected with these belonging to the tabernacle, with the
pillars of the court, their sockets, pins, and cords (ver.
36, 37).

The word [w'hrn,] {we(8468)aron,} and "Aaron," has a point
over each of its letters, probably designed as a mark of
spuriousness. The word is wanting in the Samaritan, Syriac,
and Coptic, and also in eight of Dr. Kennicott's and in four
of De Rossi's MSS. Moses alone, as Houbigant observes, was
commanded to number the Levites, (ver. 5, 11, 40, 44, 51:)
for as the money with which the first-born were redeemed was
to be paid to Aaron and his sons, (ver. 48,) it was decent
that he, whose advantage it was that the number of the
first-born should exceed, should not be authorized to take
that number himself.
twenty and two thousand.
This total does not agree with the particulars; for the
Gershonites were 7,500, the Kohathites 8,600, and the
Merarites 6,200, which make a total of 22,300. Several
methods of solving this difficulty have been proposed by
learned men. Houbigant supposes there is an error in the
enumeration of the Kohathites in ver. 28; the numeral {shesh,}
"six," being written instead of {shalosh,} "three," before
"hundred." Dr. Kennicott's mode of reconciling the
discrepancy, however, is the most simple. He supposes that an
error has crept into the number of the Gershonites in ver. 22,
where instead of 7,500; we should read 7,200, as [k,]
{caph} final, which stands for 500, might have been easily
mistaken for [r,] resh, 200. (Dr. Kennicott on the Hebrew
Text, vol. II. p. 212.) Either of these modes will equally
reconcile the difference.

* the two hundred.
As the number of the Levites was 22,000, and the first-born
males of the Israelites were 22,273, there were therefore 372
more of the latter than of the former, which are here ordered
to be redeemed. The price of redemption is fixed at five
shekels, or about 15s. each, in ver 47. This money,
amounting to 1,365; shekels, equal to (9c32)04. 15s. English, was
taken of the first-born. There is some difficulty, however,
in determining which of the first-born should be redeemed by
paying this sum, and which should be exchanged for the
Levites; for every Israelite, no doubt, would rather have his
first-born redeemed by a Levite, than pay five shekels; and
yet some of them must have incurred this expense. Rabbi
Solomon Jarchi says, to prevent contention, Moses took 22,000
slips of parchment, and wrote on each a son of Levi, and 273
more, on which he wrote five shekels; then putting them in an
urn, and shaking them together, he ordered every one of the
first-born to draw out a slip. If he drew out one with the
first inscription, he said to him, a Levite hath redeemed
thee: but if he drew out one of the latter, he said, pay the
price. This is pronounced by Dr. A. Clarke to be a stupid,
silly tale; but when we know that the determination by lot
was used among the Israelites, it does not seem improbable
that it was now resorted to, though we cannot vouch for the
accuracy of the detail. This species of redeeming men is
referred to by St. Peter in his 1st Epistle, ch. 1:18, 19.

The law prohibiting any person, except the high priest on one

admitted an exception while the Israelites were in the
wilderness: that exception, therefore, is here expressly
made; and the directions given respecting it must be
religiously observed, or the service could not be safely
performed. While the cloud rested on the tabernacle, the
general rule was in force; but when it was removed, then the
priests might enter to prepare the sacred vessels for
removal.

In the third chapter we have an account of the whole number
of the Levites; and here of those only who were able to serve
the Lord in the sanctuary. By comparing the two places, we
find the number of the effective and ineffective males to
stand thus:--
Kohathites.
Effective men . . . . . . . 2,750
Ineffective . . . . . . . . 5,850
-----
Total 8,600
Gershonites.
Effective men . . . . . . . 2,630

-----
Total 7,500
Merarites.
Effective men . . . . . . . 3,200
Ineffective . . . . . . . . 3,000
-----
Total 6,200
Thus we find that the whole number of the Levites amounted to
22,300; of whom 8,580; were fit for service and 13,720; unfit,
being either too old or too young. What an astonishing
number of men, all performing some service by which God was
glorified, and the congregation at large benefited!

The family of Merari, though smaller than either of the other
families of Levi, yet had a greater number of able men than
any of them; for out of 6,200; males of a month old and
upwards, we find 3,200; who were neither too young nor too old
for the service of the sanctuary; which was more than
one-half of their whole number. In this the wisdom and
providence of God appear most conspicuously; for the
Merarites were charged with the heaviest part of the
sanctuary, as the boards, bars, sockets, etc; and though
waggons were afterwards provided for them, yet the loading
and unloading of the sockets, and other things of great
weight, would require much strength, both bodily and
numerical. (Compare ver. 36, 40, with ch. 3:22, 28, 24.)
Thus God ever manifests his wisdom, in fitting men for the
work to which they are appointed, whether with respect to
number or gifts: "For to one is given, by the Spirit, the
word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge, by the same
Spirit; to another faith, by the same Spirit; to another the
gifts of healing, by the same Spirit; to another the working
of miracles; to another prophecy; to another discerning of
spirits; to another divers kinds of tongues; to another the
interpretation of tongues: but all these worketh that one
and the self-same Spirit, dividing to every man severally as
he will."

* put out of the camp.
The camp of Israel being now formed, with the sanctuary of
God in the centre, orders were given that the lepers and
unclean persons should be excluded from the camp, according
to the laws given at different times on these subjects. See
the Marginal References.) This expulsion was founded, 1. On
a purely physical reason; for the diseases were contagious,
and therefore there was a necessity of putting those
afflicted with them apart, that the infection might not be
communicated. 2. There was also a spiritual reason: the
camp was the habitation of God; and therefore, in honour of
Him who had thus condescended to dwell with them, nothing
impure should be permitted to remain. 3. Further, there was
a typical reason; for the camp was the emblem of the church,
where nothing that is defiled should enter, and in which
nothing that is unholy should be tolerated.

the baseness of the crime of which the woman was suspected,
and the mournful state of her family. It was not an atoning
sacrifice, but an oblation for a memorial, as solemnly
referring the decision to God, and calling upon him either to
acquit or punish.

* separate themselves.
The word {yaphli,} rendered "shall separate themselves,"
signifies, "the doing of something extraordinary," and is the
same word as is used concerning the making a singular vow.
(Le 27:2); it seems to convey the idea of a person's acting
from extraordinary zeal for God and religion.
* to vow.
Le 27:2 Jud 13:5 1Sa 1:28 Am 2:11,12 Lu 1:15 Ac 21:23,24
* to separate themselves. or, to make themselves Nazarites.
{Lahazzir,} from {nazar,} to be separate; hence {nazir,} a
Nazarite, i.e., a person separated; one peculiarly devoted to
the service of God by being separated from all servile
employments. The Nazarites were of two kinds: such as were
devoted to God by their parents in their infancy, or even
sometimes before they were born; and such as devoted
themselves. The former were Nazarites for life; and the
latter commonly bound themselves to observe the laws of the
Nazarites for a limited time. The Nazarites for life were
not bound to the same strictness as the others, concerning
whom the laws relate.
經文：民數記 6:3-6:3 註釋:
Besides the religious nature of this institution, it seems to
have been partly of a civil and prudential use. The sobriety
and temperance which the Nazarites were obliged to observe
were very conducive to health. Accordingly, they were
celebrated for their fair and ruddy complexion; being said to
be both whiter than milk and more ruddy than rubies (La 4:7);
the sure signs of a sound and healthy constitution. It may
here be observed, that when God intended to raise up Samson,
by his strength of body, to scourge the enemies of Israel, he
ordered, that from his infancy he should drink no wine, but
live by the rule of the Nazarites, because that would greatly
contribute to make him strong and healthy; intending, after
nature had done her utmost to form this extraordinary
instrument of his providence, to supply her defect by his own
supernatural power. See Jenning's Jewish Antiquities, B. I.

This expression, "the consecration, or separation, of God is
on his head," denotes his hair, which was the proof and
emblem of his separation, and of his subjection to God
through all the peculiarities of his Nazarate. St. Paul
probably alludes to this circumstance in 1; Co 11:10; by
considering a married woman as a Nazarite for life, i.e.,
separated from all others, and united to her husband, to whom
she is subject.

The Gershonites being fewest in number of able men, had the
less burdensome things to carry; for they carried only the
curtains, coverings, and hangings, (ch. 4:25, 40.) And
although this was a cumbersome carriage, and they needed
waggons, yet it was not a heavy one, and they needed few.

Though the Merarites were the most numerous, yet they had the
greatest burden, namely, the boards, bars, pillars, and
sockets, to carry, (ch. 4:31, 32, 48.) Therefore they had
double the number of waggons to what the Gershonites had
assigned them.

* this was the offering.
It is worthy of remark, that the different tribes are
represented here as bringing their offerings precisely in the
same order in which they encamped about the tabernacle, (see
ch. 2; 10;) beginning at the East, then proceeding to the
South, then to the West, and ending with the North, according
to the course of the sun. Their order may be thus viewed:
East.
1. Judah: Nahshon.
2. Issachar: Nathaneel.
3. Zebulun: Eliab.
South.
4. Reuben: Elizur.
5. Simeon: Shelumiel.
6. Gad: Eliasaph.
West.
7. Ephraim: Elishama.
8. Manasseh: Gamaliel.
9. Benjamin: Abidan.
North.
10. Dan: Ahiezer.
11. Asher: Pagiel.
12. Naphtali: Ahira.
Thus God evinces that he "is not the author of confusion, but
of peace." (1; Co 14:33.) It is also worthy of remark, that
every tribe offers the same kind of offering, and in the same
quantity, to shew, that as every tribe was equally indebted
to God for its support, so each should testify an equal sense
of obligation. Besides, the vessels were all sacrificial
vessels, and the animals were all clean animals, such as were
proper for sacrifices; and therefore everything was intended
to point out, that the people were to be a holy people, fully
dedicated to God, and that God was to dwell among them.
Thus, as the priests, altar, etc. were anointed, and the
tabernacle dedicated, so the people, by this offering, became
consecrated to God. Therefore every act here was a religious
act.

this charger and bowl were made, that they were for the use
of the altar of burnt offerings in the outer court; for all
the vessels of the sanctuary were of gold. It was probably
used for receiving the flesh of the sacrifices upon which the

These sacrifices were more numerous than the burnt offering
or the sin offering; because the priests, the princes, and as
many of the people as they invited, had a share of them, and
feasted, with great rejoicing, before the Lord. This custom,
as Mr. Shelden observes, seems to have been imitated by the
heathen, who dedicated their altars, temples, statues, etc.,
with much ceremony.

Both Jewish and Christian writers have been surprised that
this work of offering went forward on the seventh day (which
they suppose to have been a sabbath), as well as on the other
days. But, 1. there is no absolute proof that this seventh
day of offering was a sabbath. 2. Were it even so, could
the people be better employed than in thus consecrating
themselves and their services to the Lord? We have already
seen that every act was a religious act; and we may rest
assured, that no day was too holy for the performance of such
acts as are here recorded. Here it may be observed, that
Moses has thought fit to set down distinctly, and at full
length, the offerings of the princes of each tribe, though,
as we have already observed, they were the very same, both in
quantity and quality, that an honourable mention might be
made of every one apart, and that none might think himself in
the least neglected.

* On the tenth day.
When the twelve days of the dedication commenced cannot be
easily determined; but the computation of F. Scacchus seems
highly probable. He supposes, that the tabernacle being
erected the first day of the first month of the second year
after the departure from Egypt, seven days were spent in the
consecration of it, and the altar, etc.; and that on the
eight day, Moses began to consecrate Aaron and his sons,
which lasted seven days more. Then, on the fourteenth day of
that month, was the feast day of unleavened bread; which God
commanded to be observed in the first month (ch. 9), and
which lasted till the 22nd. The rest of the month, we may
well suppose, was spent in giving, receiving, and delivering
the laws contained in the book of Leviticus; after which, on
the first day of the second month, Moses began to number the
people, according to the command in the beginning of this
book; which may be supposed to have lasted three days. On
the fourth, the Levites were numbered; on the next day we may
suppose they were offered to God, and given to the Priests;
and on the sixth, they were expiated and consecrated, as we
read in the following chapter. On the seventh day, their
several charges were assigned them, (ch. 4;) after which, he
supposes the princes began to offer, on the eight day of the
second month, for the dedication of the altar, which lasted
till the nineteenth day inclusively; and on the twentieth day
of this month, they removed from Sinai to the wilderness of
Paran. (ch. 10:11, 12.)

Dr. Adam Clarke remarks, that the Hebrew form of expression
here, and in the 78th verse, has something curious in it;
{beyom (8373)htey (8373)ar yom,} "in the day, the first and tenth
day;" {beyom shenim (8373)ar yom,} "in the day, two and tenth
day." But this is the idiom of the language; and to an
original Hebrew, our almost anomalous words eleventh and
twelfth, would appear as strange.

經文：民數記 7:73-7:73 註釋:
13-89
The oblations and sacrifices enumerated in verses 13; to 88
were simple and plain, though costly and magnificent. On
this occasion we find there were offered 12; silver chargers,
each weighing 130; shekels; 12; silver bowls, each 70; shekels;
12; golden spoons, each 10; shekels; making the total amount of
silver vessels 2,400; shekels, and that of golden vessels, 120
shekels. A silver charger, at 130; shekels, reduced to troy
weight, makes 75; oz. 9; dwts. 16; 8/31; gr.; and a silver bowl,
at 70; shekels, amounts to 40; oz. 12; dwts. 21; 21/31; gr. The
total weight of the 12; chargers is therefore 905; oz. 16; dwts.
3; 3/31; gr.; and that of the 12; bowls, 487; oz. 14; dwts. 20
4/31; gr.; making the total weight of silver vessels 1,393; oz.
10; dwts. 23; 7/31; gr. The golden spoons, allowing each to be
5; oz. 16; dwts. 3; 3/31; gr., amount to 69; oz. 3; dwts. 13; 5/31
gr. Besides these, there were for sacrifice--
Bullocks . . . . . . 12

Lambs . . . . . . 12
Goats . . . . . . 24

By this we may at once see, that though the place in which
they now sojourned was a wilderness as to cities, villages,
and regular inhabitants, yet there was plenty of pasturage;
else the Israelites could not have furnished these cattle,
with all the sacrifices necessary for different occasions,
and especially for the passover, which must of itself have
required an immense number of lambs, when each family of
600,000; males was obliged to provide one. (ch. 9.)

When this was spoken, says Bp. Patrick, is not certain. If
Moses went into the tabernacle immediately after the princes
had offered, (ch. 7:89,) it may be thought he then spake
these things unto him; but both this and what follows,
concerning the Levites, seem rather to have been delivered
after the order for giving them to the priests, and
appointing their several charges. (ch. 3; 4.) But some
other things intervening, which depended upon what had been
ordered respecting their camp, and that of the Israelites,
Moses omits this until he had stated them, and some other
matters which he had received from God. (See ch. 7:11.)

The words, {kol (8364)ath,} which are rendered "the whole
assembly," often signify all the elders, or principal persons
in the several tribes. (ch. 15:4; 25:7; 35:12.) And they
cannot well have any other sense here; for it would be
impossible for all the children of Israel to put their hands
on the Levites, as stated in the next verse.

{Wehainaphta othom tenoophath,} literlly, as in ver. 11, "and
thou shalt wave them for a wave-offering;" manifestly in
allusion to the ancient sacrificial rite of waving the
sacrifices before the Lord; and it is probable, that some
significant action, analogous to the waving of the sacrifice,
was employed on this occasion; for the Levites were
considered as an offering to the Lord, to whose service they
were wholly dedicated. To this the apostle Paul manifestly
alludes, when, in writing to the Romans, he says, (ch. 12:1,)
"I beseech you, therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God,
that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy,
acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service."

In ch. 4:3, the Levites are appointed to the service of the
tabernacle at the age of 30; years; and in 1; Ch 23:24, they
are ordered to commence their work at 20; years of age. In
order to reconcile this apparent discrepancy, it is to be
observed, 1. At the time of which Moses speaks in ch. 4:3,
the Levitical service was exceedingly severe, and
consequently required full grown, robust men, to perform it;
the age of 30; was therefore appointed as the period for
commencing this service, the weightier part of which was
probably there intended. 2. In this place God seems to
speak of the service in a general way: hence the age of 25
is fixed. 3. In David's time, and afterwards, in the fixed
tabernacle and temple, the laboriousness of the service no
longer existed, and hence 20; years was the age appointed.

4:23 2Ti 4:7
The Levites, above fifty years of age, might superintend and
assist their junior brethren in the ordinary offices, and
give them and the people counsel and instruction; but they
were exempted from carrying the tabernacle and from other
laborious services. It is remarkable, that no law was made
concerning the age at which the priests should begin to
officiate, and though various blemishes disqualified them for
the service of the sanctuary, yet they continued their
ministrations till death, if capable. On the other hand,
nothing is said concerning any bodily defects or blemishes
disqualifying the Levites; but the time of their service is
expressly settled. Their work was far more laborious than
that of the priests; it is therefore likely that the priests
would not begin very early to officiate; and the wisdom and
experience of age would increase, rather than diminish, their
fitness for the sacred duties of their office.

The fourteen first verses of this chapter evidently refer to
a time previous to the commencement of this book; but as
there is no evidence of a transposition, it is better to
conclude with Houbigant, that "it is enough to know, that
these books contain an account of things transacted in the
days of Moses, though not in their regular or chronological
order."

This cloud not only enlightened the Israelites, but also
protected them, and was a continual pledge of God's presence
and protection. To this manifestation of the Divine glory,
the prophet Isaiah alludes, when he says, (Isa 4:5,) "The
Lord will create upon every dwelling place of Mount Zion, and
upon her assemblies, a cloud and smoke by day, and the
shining of a flaming fire by night." God is the director,
protector, and glory of his church.

Some of the Levites may have been appointed to watch the

of its beginning to stir; and this is called "keeping the

go before us, and resting where he appoints us to rest.

The necessity of such instruments will at once appear, when
the amazing extent of this army is considered. There were
various kinds of trumpets among the ancients, of different
forms and materials, as Eustathius shews on Homer, where he
mentions six; the second of which was [stroggule,] turned
up round, like a ram's horn; which he says the Egyptians used
(from being invented by Osiris) when they assembled the
people to their sacrifices. But in opposition to that form,
Moses commands these to be made long, in the shape of those
used at present. So Josephus informs us, who says they were
near a cubit long; the tube of the thickness of a common pipe
or flute; the mouth no wider than just to admit blowing into
them; and their ends wide like those of a modern trumpet.

A single alarm was a signal for the eastward division to
march; two such alarms the signal for the south; and probably
three for the west, and four for the North. There appears
therefore, a deficiency in the Hebrew Text, which is thus
supplied by the LXX.: [kai salpieite semasian triten, kai
exarousin ai parembolai ai paremballousai para thalassan.
kai salpieite semasian tetarten, kai exarousin ai
parembolai ai paremballousai pros bomran.] "And when ye
blow a third alarm, or signal, the camps on the west shall
march; and when ye blow a fourth alarm, the camps on the north
shall march." This addition, however, is not acknowledged by
the Samaritan, nor any other version than the Coptic, nor any
MS. yet collated.

The Israelites had lain encamped in the wilderness of Sinai
about eleven months and twenty days (comp. Ex 19:1); and they
now received the order of God to decamp, and proceed to the

place, nearly the words of De 1:6-8: "And Jehovah spake unto
Moses, saying, Ye have dwelt long enough in this mount; turn,

In Hebrew, {kishshuim,} in Arabic, {kiththa,} Chaldee,
{keta,} and Syriac, {kati,} a species of cucumber peculiar to
Egypt, smooth, of a longish cylindrical shape, and about a
foot long. Prosper Alpinus says that it differs from the
common sort by its size, colour, and softness; that its
leaves are smaller, whiter, softer, and rounder; its fruit
larger, greener, smoother, softer, sweeter, and more easy of
digestion than ours. Hasselquist describes it in the same
manner; and adds, that it is very little watery, but firm
like a melon, sweet and cool to the taste, but not so cold as

Moses; but his conduct appears at the same time so very
simple, honest, and affectionate, that we cannot but admire
it, while we wonder that he had not stronger confidence in
that God, whose stupendous miracles he had so often witnessed
in Egypt.

God.

That the word {selav} means the quail, we have already had
occasion to observe; to which we subjoin the authority of Mr.
Maundrell, who visited Naplosa, (the ancient Sichem,) where
the Samaritans live. Mr. Maundrell asked their chief priest
what sort of animal he took the {selav} to be. He answered,
they were a sort of fowls; and, by the description Mr.
Maundrell perceived he meant the same kind with our quails.

The exact situation of this place is unknown. Dr. Shaw

Sinai. From this passage, it appears that the wilderness of
Paran commenced immediately upon their leaving this station.
Calmet observes, that there is a town called Hazor in Arabia
Petr(9161), in all probability the same as Hazerim, the ancient
habitation of the Hivites (De 2:23); and likewise, according
to all appearances, the Hazeroth, where the Hebrews encamped.

經文：民數記 13:3-13:3 註釋:
The wilderness of Paran, says Dr. Wells, seems to have been
taken in a larger, and in a stricter sense. In the larger
sense, it seems to have denoted all the desert and mountainous
tract, lying between the wilderness of Shur westward, and
mount Seir, or the land of Edom, eastward, the land of Canaan
northward, and the Red sea southward. And in this sense, it
seems to have comprehended the wilderness of Sin, and the
wilderness of Sinai, also the adjoining tract wherein lay
Kibroth-hattaavah and Hazeroth. In this sense it may be
understood in De 1:19, where, by "that great and terrible
wilderness," is intended the wilderness of Paran in its
largest acceptation; for, in its stricter acceptation, it
seems not to have been so great and terrible a wilderness; but
is taken to denote more peculiarly that part of Arabia Petr(9161)
which lies between mount Sinai and Hazeroth west, and mount
Seir east.

The wilderness of Zin, is different from that called Sin.
(Ex 16:1.) The latter was near Egypt, but the former was near
Kadesh Barnea, not far from the borders of Canaan. It seems
to be the valley mentioned by Burckhardt; which, under the
names of El Ghor and El Araba, form a continuation of the
valley of the Jordan, extending from the Dead sea to the
eastern branch of the Red sea. The whole plain presents to
the view an appearance of shifting sands, whose surface is
broken by innumerable undulations and low hills. A few talk,
tamarisk, and rethem trees grow among the sand hills; but the
depth of sand precludes all vegetation of herbage.

{Tzillam,} a metaphor highly expressive of protection and

express the same thing; using the expressions, "May the shadow
{zulli} of thy prosperity be extended." "May the shadow of
thy prosperity be spread over the heads of thy well-wishers."
And in an elegant distich, "May your protection never be
removed from my head; may God extend your shadow {zullikem}
eternally." The loftiest and most esteemed title of the
sultan, says Thornton, because given him by the kings of
Persia, is {zil ullah,} shadow of God.

influence of God, which thus raised him above human
inquietudes and earthly fears. Therefore he followed God

the way he was to take and the line of conduct he was to
pursue, and he filled up this line, and in all things followed
the will of his Maker.

Under the term {bakar,} are comprehended the ox, heifer, etc;

enjoined in the Levitical law are the very same which
commanded Abraham to offer. (Ge 15:9.) Hence it is evident,
that God delivered to the patriarchs an epitome of that law
which was afterwards given in detail to Moses, the essence of
which consisted in its sacrifices; and these sacrifices were
of clean animals, the most perfect, useful, and healthy of all
that are brought under the immediate government of man. Gross
feeding and ferocious animals were all excluded, as well as
all birds of prey.

經文：民數記 15:22-15:22 註釋:
This law concerning sins of ignorance, being entirely diverse
from one before considered, occasions considerable difficulty.
(Le ch. 4.) Some explain that law as relating to sins of
commission, this to sins of omission: others explain the one
of inadvertent violations of the moral law, and the other of
the transgressions of the ceremonial law: and some think that
related to the whole nation, this to any one tribe; or that to
the bulk of the nation, this to the rulers and elders. The
Jews say, that the former law referred to such national
transgressions through heedlessness, as consisted with the
maintenance of the prescribed worship in the main; but that
this especially respected the case of the nation, when through
inattention, and the example and authority of wicked rulers,
they had turned aside and committed idolatry, or conducted
their worship directly contrary to law; yet through a culpable
ignorance, and not in presumption. This was evidently the
case under several of their kings; and the explanation seems
well grounded.

That is, bold, daring, deliberate acts of transgression
against the fullest evidence, and in despite of the Divine
authority. Such conduct "reproacheth the Lord," as if his
commands were needless, unreasonable, and inimical to the
happiness of man; his favour were not desirable, or his wrath
not to be feared: in short, as if it were more advantageous
to rebel against him than to serve him. Such acts admitted of
no atonement: the person was condemned to bear his own
iniquity, and to be cut off.

The word {tzitzith} properly denotes an ornament resembling a
flower. From ver. 39, we learn that these were emblematical
of the commands of God. That there is any analogy between a
fringe and a precept, it would be bold to assert; but when a
thing is appointed to represent another, no matter how
different, that first object becomes the legitimate
representative or sign of the other.

26:9,10 27:3 Ex 6:18,21 Jude 1:11
* sons of Reuben.
Ge 49:3,4 1Ch 5:1,2
* took men.
As the word men is not in the text, some read "took counsel;"
and some "took courage." Houbigant renders {yikkach,
rebellionem fecerunt,} "they rebelled;" which scarcely any
rule of criticism can ever justify. Dr. Geddes' translation
is, "Another insurrection was raised against Moses by Korah,"
etc. Others think that it may mean, "behaved with insolence."
But, as Dr. A. Clarke observes, the verb {wyyikkach,} "and he
took" which though at the end of the sentence in English, is
the first word in Hebrew, is not in the plural, but the
singular; and hence cannot be applied to the acts of all these
chiefs. In every part of the Scripture, where this rebellion
is referred to, it is attributed to Korah, therefore the verb
here belongs to him; and the whole verse should be translated,
"Now Korah, son of Izhar, son of Kohath, son of Levi, he took
even Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab, and On, son of
Peleth, son of Reuben, and they rose up," etc.; reading, with
some MSS., the Samaritan, and Septuagint, {ben,} son, instead
of {beney,} sons.

Though Moses was their ruler, under God, yet, so far from
oppressing them, he had not imposed the smallest tax, nor
taken, as a present, so much as an ass from one of them. The
common present that is now made to the great, in these
countries, is a horse; but there is reason to believe, that an
ass might formerly have answered the same purpose. "If it is
a visit of ceremony from a {bashaw,}" says Dr. Russell, "or
other person in power, a fine horse, sometimes with furniture,
or some such valuable present, is made to him at his
departure." As asses were esteemed no dishonourable beasts
for the saddle, Sir. J. Chardin, in his MS., supposes, that
when Samuel disclaimed having taken the ass of any one, (1; Sa
12:3,) he is to be understood of not having taken any ass for
his riding. In the same light, he considers this similar
declaration of Moses. His reason is "asses being then
esteemed very honourable creatures for riding on, (ch. 22:21,
30. Jud 5:10. 2; Sa 16:2,) as they are at this very time in
Persia, being rode with saddles."

It should seem that Dathan and Abiram had set up a spacious
tabernacle in the midst of the tents of their families, where
they kept court, met in council, and hung out their flag of
defiance against Moses; it is here called the tabernacle of
Korah, Dathan, and Abiram. There, as in the place of
rendezvous, Dathan and Abiram stayed, when Korah and his
friends went up to the tabernacle of the Lord, waiting the
issue of their trial; but here we are told how they had their
business done, before that trial was over. God will take what
method he pleases in his judgments.

touch anything belonging to them; that they might enter a

justice of their punishment, and express their fear of being
involved in it.

had perished were not "the people of the Lord," and that God,
not Moses and Aaron, had destroyed them.

This fact was so unquestionably miraculous, that no doubt
could remain on the minds of the people, or the envious
chiefs, of the divine appointment of Aaron: and as there were
buds, blossoms, and fruit on the rod at the same time, which
was never the case with branches in the natural and ordinary
course, this evidently proved the miracle, and took away all
suspicion of the fraud which has been impiously suggested,
that Moses had taken away Aaron's rod in the night time, and
put a living branch of an almond tree in the room of it. A
sceptre or staff of office resuming its vegetative life, was
considered an absolute impossibility among the ancients; and
as they were accustomed to swear by their sceptres, this
circumstance was added to confirm the oath.

but the priests shall be principal, the Levites their
associates or assistants.

Redemption of the firstborn is one of the rites which are
still practised among the Jews. According to Leo of Modena,
it is performed in the following manner:--When the child is
thirty days old, the father sends for one of the descendants
of Aaron: several persons being assembled on the occasion,
the father brings a cup, containing several pieces of gold and
silver coin. The priest then takes the child into his arms,
and addressing himself to the mother, he says, "Is this thy
son?" Mother. "Yes." Priest. "Hast thou never had another
child, male or female, a miscarriage, or untimely birth?"
Mother. "No." Priest. "This being the case, this child, as
firstborn, belongs to me." Then turning to the father, he
says, "If it be thy desire to have this child, thou must
redeem it." Father. "I present thee with this gold and
silver for this purpose." Priest. "Thou dost wish,
therefore, to redeem this child?" Father. "I do wish so to
do." The priest then turning himself to the assembly, says,
"Very well: this child, as first-born, is mine; as it is
written in Bemidbar, (ch. 18:16,) Thou shalt redeem the
first-born of a month old for five shekels; but I shall
content myself with this in exchange." He then takes two gold
crowns, or thereabouts, and returns the child to his parents.

The principal part of what was offered to God was the portion
of the priests; who had no inheritance of land in Israel. The
Rabbins say, 24; gifts were given to the priests; all of which
are expressed in the law. Eight were only eaten in the
sanctuary: 1. The flesh of the sin-offering. (Le 6:25, 26.)
2. The flesh of the trespass-offering. (Le 7:1, 6.) 3. The
peace-offering of the congregation. (Le 23:19, 20.) 4. The
remainder of the sheaf. ( Le 23:10.) 5. The remnants of the
meat-offerings. (Le 6:16.) 6. The two loaves. (Le 23:17.)
7. The shew-bread. (Le 24:9.) 8. The log of oil offered by
the leper. (Le 14:10.) Five they ate only at Jerusalem: 1.
The breast and shoulder of the peace-offerings. (Le 7:31-34.)
2. The heave-offering of confession. (Le 7:12-14.) 3. The
heave-offering of the Nazarite's ram. (Le 6:17-20.) 4. The
firstling. (ch. 18:15.) 5. The first-fruits. (18:13.)
Five were due to them only in the land of Israel: 1. The
heave-offering of first-fruits. (ver. 12.) 2. Of the tithe.
(ver. 28.) 3. The cake. (ch. 15:20.) 4. The first of the
fleece. (De 18:4.) 5. The field of possession. (ch. 35.)
Five were due both within and without the land: 1. The gifts
of slain beasts. (De 18:3.) 2. The redemption of the
first-born. (ver. 15.) 3. The lamb for a firstling ass.

* the ordinance.
31:21 Heb 9:10
* a red heifer.
The following curious particulars have been remarked in this
ordinance: 1. A heifer was appointed for sacrifice, in
opposition to the Egyptian superstition, which held these
sacred, and worshipped their goddess Isis under this form; and
this appears the more likely, because males only were chosen
for sacrifice. So Herodotus says, they sacrifice males, both
old and young; but it is not lawful for them to offer females.
2. It was to be a red heifer, because the Egyptians
sacrificed red bulls to the evil demon Typhon. 3. It was to
be without spot, having no mixture of any other colour.
Plutarch says, the Egyptians "sacrifice red bulls, and select
them with such scrupulous attention, that if the animal has a
single black or white hair, they reckon it [athuton,] unfit
to be sacrificed." 4. Without blemish. (See note on Le
22:21.) 5. On which never came yoke: because an animal
which had been used for a common purpose was deemed improper
for sacrifice.

That is, water prepared by being mixed with the ashes of the
heifer, and set apart for the special purpose of being
sprinkled on those who had contracted any legal defilement.
To this rite the apostle Paul, in his epistle to the Hebrews.
(ch. 9:13, 14,) pointedly alludes: "For if," says he, "the
blood of bulls and of goats," alluding, probably, to the
sin-offerings and the scape-goat, "and the ashes of a heifer
sprinkling the unclean, sanctifieth to the purifying of the
flesh; how much more shall the blood of Christ, who, through
the eternal Spirit, offered himself without spot unto God,
purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living
God."

He who touched a dead beast was only unclean for one day,
(Le 11:12, 27, 39;) but he who touches a dead man is unclean
for seven days. This was certainly designed to show the
peculiar impurity and sinfulness of man, and the hatefulness
of sin, seven times worse than the vilest animal!

Rekem, in the Syriac, and Rakim, in Arabic. Rekem, says Rabbi
Nissin, (in Gittin, ch. 1.) is on the east, meaning of the

* mount Hor.
Mount Hor was situated in Arabia Petr(9161), on the confines of
Edom. It is described by Burckhardt, as being situated on the
western side of a valley called Wady Mousa; in which are found
the ruins of the ancient Petra, and which is two long days'
journey north-east of Accaba (on the northern point of the
Elanitic gulf of the Red sea,) in the Djebel Shera, or mount
Seir, and on the east side of the Araba, the valley which
forms the continuation of that of the Jordan. On the summit
of the mountain is the tomb of Haroun, or Aaron, which is held
in great veneration by the Arabs; which agrees with the
testimonies of Josephus, Eusebius, and Jerome, all persons
well acquainted with these countries, who agree in proving
that the sepulchre of Aaron, in mount Hor, was near Petra.
When visited by Mr. Legh, it was attended by a crippled Arab
hermit, about 80; years of age, who conducted them into a small
white building, crowned by a cupola, that contains the tomb of
Aaron. The monument is of stone, about three feet high; and
round the chamber where it stood were suspended beads, etc.,
the votive offerings of the devotees.

Jos 10:13 2Sa 1:18
* What he did. or, Vaheb in Suphah.
The following seems to be the sense of this passage: "From
Vaheb in Suphah, and the torrents of Arnon, even the effusion
of the torrents, which goeth down to the dwelling of Ar, and
lieth for the boundary of Moab; even from thence to the well;
(which is the well of which Jehovah spake unto Moses, Gather
the people, and I will give them water. Then sang Israel this
song: Spring up, O Well! Answer ye to it. The well, princes
digged it; even nobles of the people digged it, by a decree,
upon their borders;) and from the wilderness (or the well, as
in LXX.) to Mattanah; and from Mattanah," etc. The whole of
this, from ver. 14-20, is a fragment from "the book of the
wars of Jehovah," probably a book of remembrances or
directions written by Moses for the use of Joshua, and
describes the several boundaries of the land of Moab. This
rendering removes every obscurity, and obviates every
difficulty.

Arnon is a stream which takes its rise in the mountains of
Moab, and, by a north-west course, during which it receives
the waters of several streams, runs into the Dead sea. It is
now called Wady Modjeb, and divides the province of Pelka from
that of Kerek, as it formerly divided the kingdoms of the
Moabites and Amorites. Its principal source is at a short
distance to the north-east of Katrane, a station of the Syrian
Hadj, where it is called Seyl Sayde; and lower down it
receives the name of Esseim el Kereim, or Szefye.

Dr. Kennicott justly remarks, that "the description now given
of Balaam's residence, instead of being particular, agrees
with any place, in any country where there is a river; for he
lived by 'Pethor, which is by the river of the land of his
people.' But was Pethor, then, near the Nile in Egypt? Or in
Canaan, near Jordan? Or in Mesopotamia, near the Euphrates,
and belonging to the Ammonites? This last was in fact the
case; and therefore, it is well that twelve Hebrew MSS. (with
two of De Rossi's) confirm the Samaritan text here, in reading
instead of {(836d)mo,} 'his people,' Ammon, with the Syriac and
Vulgate versions." Houbigant justly contends for this
reading; and necessity urges the propriety of adopting it:
and it thus agrees with De 23:4. Ptolemy calls Pethor,
Pachura, and Eusebius, Pathura; who places it in upper
Mesopotamia. Calmet is of opinion, that it was situated
towards Thapsacus, beyond the Euphrates.

An erroneous opinion prevailed, both in those days and in
after ages, that some men had the power, by the help of their
gods, to devote, not only particular persons, but cities and
whole armies, to destruction. This they are said to have done
sometimes by words of imprecation; of which there was a set
form among some people, which (9273)chines calls [diorizomenen
aran ,] "the determinate curse." Macrobius has a whole
chapter on this subject. He gives us two of the ancient forms
used in reference to the destruction of Carthage; the first,
which was only pronounced by the dictator, or general, was to
call over the protecting deities to their side, and the other
to devote the city to destruction, which they were supposed to
have abandoned. The Romans held, that no city would be taken
till its tutelary god had forsaken it; or if it could be
taken, it would be unlawful, as it would be sacrilege to lead
the gods into captivity. Virgil intimates, that Troy was
destroyed because {Excessere omnes adytis, arisque relictis
dii, quibus imperium hoc steterat,} "All the gods, by whose
assistance the empire had hitherto been preserved, forsook
their altars and temples." See more on this subject in Dr. A.
Clarke, Bp. Patrick, and Burder's Oriental Customs, No. 734.

And where is the wonder of all this? If the ass had opened
her own mouth, and reproved the rash prophet, we might well be
astonished; but when God opens the mouth, an ass can speak as
well as a man. It is to no purpose to speak of the
construction of the ass's mouth, of the formation of the
tongue and jaws being unfit for speaking; for an adequate
cause is assigned for this wonderful effect, "The Lord opened
the mouth of the ass"; and no one who believes in a God, can
doubt of his power to do this and much more.

overlook. Baal, which signifies a lord or governor, was a

Chemosh, the god of Moab.

as immediate poetic productions of the Spirit of God.

The {reaim,} most probably denotes the rhinoceros, so called
from the horn on its nose. In size he is only exceeded by the
elephant; and in strength and power inferior to none. He is
at least twelve feet in length, from the snout to the tail;
six or seven feet in height; and the circumference of the body
is nearly equal to his length. He is particularly
distinguished from all other animals by the remarkable and
offensive weapon he carries on his nose; which is very hard
horn, solid throughout, directed forward. He principally
feeds upon large succulent plants, prickly shrubs, and
branches; and delights in marshy places.

{Ahalim,} "lign-aloe trees." This tree, which grows in the
East Indies, is described as being eight or ten feet in
height, with a stem the thickness of a man's thigh. At the
top grows a large tuft of jagged and thick leaves, thick and
indented, broad at the bottom, but growing narrower towards
the point, and about four feet in length. The blossoms are
red, intermingled with yellow, and double like cloves; from
which comes a red and white fruit, of the size of a pea,
oblong and triangular, with three apartments filled with seed.
The tree has a very beautiful appearance; and a forest of them
is said to bear a resemblance to a numerous encampment.

he shall slay the princes of Moab, and rule over all the
children of men." The marginal references will direct the
reader to the fulfilment of these remarkable prophecies.

The plague having swept away the last of that devoted

of 38; years, commands another census of the Israelites to be
made, to preserve the distinction of families, and to regulate
the tribes previous to their entry into the promised land, as
well as to ascertain the proportion of land which should be
allotted to each tribe. For, though the whole was divided by
lot, yet the portions were so disposed, that a numerous tribe
did not draw where the lots assigned small inheritances, or
the contrary.

them up, what time that company died; and the fire devoured
Korah with the 250; men, who became a sign."

of ver. 27, we shall find, that the sons and the little ones
of Dathan and Abiram alone are mentioned.

enumeration in ch. 1:
Now. Before.
1. Reuben 43,730; 46,500
2. Simeon 22,200; 59,300

4. Judah 76,500; 74,600
5. Issachar 64,300; 54,400
6. Zebulun 60,500; 57,400

8. Ephraim 32,500; 40,500
9. Benjamin 45,600; 35,400
10. Dan 64,400; 62,700
11. Asher 53,400; 41,500
12. Naphtali 45,400; 53,400
_______ _______
Total 601,730; 603,550

Thus we find there was the following increase and decrease in
the several tribes:
1. Reuben 2,770; decrease
2. Simeon 37,100; decrease
3. Gad 5,150; decrease
4. Judah 1,900; increase
5. Issachar 9,900; increase
6. Zebulun 3,100; increase
7. Manasseh 20,500; increase
8. Ephraim 8,000; decrease
9. Benjamin 10,200; increase
10. Dan 1,700; increase
11. Asher 11,900; increase
12. Naphtali 8,000; decrease
_______________
Decrease in all . . . . . . 61,020
Increase in all . . . . . . 59,200
______
Decrease on the whole . . . 1,820
It should be observed, that among these there was not one of
the former census, except Joshua and Caleb. (See ver. 64,
65.) Thus, though there was such an amazing increase in seven
tribes, yet so great was the decrease in the other five
tribes, that the balance against the present census is 1,820,
as appears above. Notwithstanding the amazing increase in
some, and decrease in other tribes, the same sort of
proportion is kept in their several divisions; so as to keep
the division in the front the largest, and that in the rear
the next.

This division by lot seems to have respect only to the
quarter, or situation, which each tribe was to possess, and
not to the quantity or extent of land, which was to be
proportioned to the numbers of each tribe, according to the
register now formed. Thus, for instance, it was determined by
lot which of the twelve tribes was to inherit in the south,
which in the north, etc.: then, in that quarter where the lot
fell, a larger or smaller portion of land was assigned them,
according to the goodness of the soil, and in proportion as
they were more or less numerous. Thus the decreasing of any
tribe in the wilderness, proved the decrease of their future
political importance and affluence in all succeeding ages.
This equal division of property was, under God, the great
bulwark and strength of the Hebrew commonwealth. According to
the most exact calculations, Canaan contained 14,976,000
acres; which, divided among 600,000; men, will allow of more
than 21; acres and a half to each, with a remainder of
1,976,000; acres for the princes of tribes, Levitical cities,
etc.: so that there was an ample provision to enable each
person, with all the advantages of that fertile country and
fine climate, to live, if not in affluent, yet in very
comfortable circumstances. Canaan lies between lat. 31
degrees and 33; degrees 30' N., and long. 35; degrees and 37
degrees E.; its length, from the city of Dan to Beersheba, is
about 200; miles; and its breadth, from the shores of the
Mediterranean to the eastern borders, about 90. The
Canaanites, the descendants of Canaan, son of Ham, and the
original inhabitants of the land, were divided into seven
principal nations,--the Amorites, Hittites, Jebusites,
Girgashites, Canaanites, Perizzites, and Hivites, and formed
themselves into almost as many kingdoms as they had cities.
After their defeat by the Israelites, such as escaped the
sword became tributary; but in process of time, having seduced
them to their idolatries, they recovered many of the strongest
places in the country; and even formed themselves into a
mighty kingdom in Galilee. They were, however, again defeated
by Barak, but were not finally subdued till the reign of David
and Solomon; the latter of whom employed 153,600; in the most
servile parts of the work of building the temple, palace, etc.

* the daughters.
In the orders for the division of the land, just given, no
provision had been made for females, in case of failure of
male issue. The five daughters of Zelophehad, therefore,
considered themselves as destitute, having neither father nor
brother, and being themselves entirely overlooked; and they
agreed to refer the case to Moses and the rulers, whether it
were not equitable that they should inherit their father's
portion. This led to the enactment of an additional law to
the civil code of Israel, which satisfactorily ascertained and
amply secured the right of succession in cases of inheritance.
This law, which is as reasonable as it is just, stands
thus:--1. On the demise of the father, the estate descends to
the sons. 2. If there be no son, the daughters succeed. 3.
If there be no daughter, the brothers of the deceased inherit.
4. If there be no brethren, or paternal uncles, the estate
goes to the grand uncles, or brothers of his father. 5. If
there be no grand uncles, then the nearest of kin succeeds to
the inheritance. Beyond this fifth degree the law does not
extend, because there must always have been some among the
Israelites who could be called kinsmen.

{Yehowah elohey haroochoth lechol basar,} "Jehovah, the God of
the spirits of all flesh." This address sufficiently proves,
that this holy man believed man to be compounded of flesh and
spirit, and that these principles are perfectly distinct.
Either the materiality of the soul is a human fable, or, if it
be a true doctrine, Moses did not pray under the influence of
the Divine Spirit. There is a similar form of expression in
ch. 16:22: "O God, the God of the spirits of all flesh;" and
in Job 12:10, "In whose hand is the soul {nephesh} of all
living; and the spirit {rooach} of all flesh of man." These
seem decisive proofs, among many others, that the Old
Testament teaches that there is an immortal spirit in man; for
though {rooach} sometimes denotes breath or wind, yet it
certainly has not that signification here, nor in the other
passages cited.

The stated sacrifices and service of the tabernacle having,
probably, been greatly interrupted for several years, and a
new generation having arisen, who were children or minors when
the law was given respecting these ordinances; and as they
were now about to enter into the promised land, where they
must be established and constantly observed; God commands
Moses to repeat them to the people in the following order:--1.
Daily: the morning and evening sacrifices; a lamb each time.
(ver. 3, 4.) 2. Weekly: the sabbath offerings; two lambs of
a year old. (ver. 9, 10.) 3. Monthly: at the beginning of
each month, two young bullocks, one ram, and seven lambs of a
year old, and a kid for a sin offering. (ver. 11-15.) 4.
Annual: (1) the Passover to last seven days; the offerings,
two young bullocks, one ram, seven lambs of a year old, and a
he-goat. (ver. 16-25.) (2) The day of first-fruits: the
sacrifices the same as on the beginning of the month. (ver.

Bishop Patrick observes that no peace offerings are appointed
in this chapter, which were chiefly for the benefit of the
offerers, and therefore in them they were left more to
themselves; but burnt offerings, which were purely for the
honour of God, and confessions of his dominion, and which
figured evangelical piety and devotion, by which the soul is
wholly offered up to God, in the flames of holy love; and sin
offerings, which were typical of Christ's sacrifice of
himself, by which we and our services are perfected and
sanctified.

* the seventh.
That is, the month Tisri, the seventh month of their
ecclesiastical year, but the first of their civil year,
answering to our September. This, which was their new year's
day, was a time of great festivity, and ushered in by the
blowing of trumpets; whence it was also called the feast of
blowing the trumpets. In imitation of this Jewish festival,
different nations began the new year with sacrifices and
festivity. The ancient Egyptians did so; and the Persians
also celebrated their {nawee rooz,} or new year's day, which
they held on the vernal equinox, and which "lasted ten days,
during which all ranks seemed to participate in one general
joy. The rich sent presents to the poor; all were dressed in
their holiday clothes; all kept open house; and religious
processions, music, dancing, a species of theatrical
exhibition, rustic sports, and other pastimes, presented a
continued round of varied amusement. Even the dead, and the
ideal beings were not forgotten; rich viands being placed on
the tops of houses and high towers, on the flavour of which
the {Peris,} and spirits of their departed heroes and friends,
were supposed to feast." After the Mohammedan conquest of
Persia, the celebration of this period sensibly declined, and
at last totally ceased, till the time of Jelaladdin (about
A.D. 1082), who, coming to the crown at the vernal equinox,
re-established the ancient festival, which has ever since been
celebrated with pomp and acclamations.
Le 23:24,25 Ezr 3:6 Ne 7:73
* the first day of the month.
The monthly sacrifices were regulated by the new moons; and it
is probable that the solemn sacrifices were appointed by God,
to prevent the idolatry which was usual among the heathen at
this period; who expressed the most extravagant rejoicings on
the first appearance of the new moon. Moses, however, used
the return of the moon only as one of the most natural and
convenient measures of time; and appointed sacrifices to
Jehovah, to prevent the Israelites from falling into the
idolatries of their heathen neighbours. In the serene climate
of Arabia and Judea, its first faint crescent is, for the most
part, visible to all.

This was the feast of Tabernacles, kept in commemoration of
their dwelling in tents in the wilderness for forty years.
The first and last days were to be kept as sabbaths, on which
there were solemn assemblies; and for seven days sacrifices
were offered. On the other festivals, two bullocks sufficed,
(ch. 28:11, 19, 27), and on the festival at the beginning of
this month, only one was appointed; but, on the first day of
this festival, thirteen young bullocks were appointed; and so
on each successive day, with the decrease of only one bullock,
till on the seventh day, there were only seven, making in all
seventy bullocks. The lambs, and the rams also, were in a
double proportion to the number sacrificed at any other
festival. This was an expensive service; but more easy at
this time of the year than any other, as Bishop Patrick
observes, because now their barns were full, and their
wine-presses overflowed; and their hearts might well be
supposed to be more enlarged than at other times, in
thankfulness to God for the multitude of his mercies. The
Jewish doctors give this reason for the daily diminution of
the number of the bullocks: the whole number, say they, was
according to the languages of the seventy nations of the
world; and the diminution of one every day signified, that
there should be a gradual diminution of those nations till all
things were brought under the government of the Messiah; in
whose days "no sacrifices shall remain, but those of
thanksgiving, prayer, and praise."

At this feast thirteen bullocks, two rams, and fourteen lambs,
were to be offered. It is worthy of remark, that in each of
the seven days of this feast one bullock is to be abated, so
that on the seventh day (ver. 32) they were to offer seven
bullocks, but the rams and lambs were every day alike; which
appointment might signify a diminishing and wearing away of
the legal offerings, to lead them to the spiritual and
reasonable service, by presenting their own bodies a living
sacrifice, holy, and acceptable unto God.

Though this day was properly a distinct festival, and esteemed
the chief or high day of the feast, yet fewer sacrifices are
appointed for it than for any of the foregoing seven. On
every one of them two rams and fourteen lambs were offered;
but on this day there were but half as many; and whereas seven
bullocks were the fewest that were offered on any of those
days, on this there was only one. At this feast, there was an
extraordinary ceremony of which the rabbins inform us, namely,
the drawing water out of the pool of Siloam, and pouring it,
mixed with wine, on the sacrifice as it lay on the altar.
This they are said to have done with such expressions of joy,
that it became a common proverb, "He that never saw the
rejoicing of drawing of water, never saw rejoicing in all his
life." The Jews pretend to ground this custom on the
following passage of Isaiah, (ch. 12:3,) "With joy shall ye
draw water out of the wells of salvation;" and to this
ceremony Jesus is supposed to refer, when "in the last day,
the great day of the feast, he stood and cried, saying, If any
man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink: he that believeth
on me, as the Scripture saith, out of his belly shall flow
rivers of living water," (Joh 7:37, 38:) thereby calling off
the people from their carnal mirth and festive and pompous
ceremonies, to seek spiritual refreshment for their minds.

It appears from the account in these two chapters, that there
were annually offered to God, at the public charge,
independently of a prodigious number of voluntary, vow, and
trespass offerings, 15; goats, 21; kids, 72; rams, 132; bullocks,
and 1,101; lambs. But how little is all this compared with the
lambs slain every year at the passover. Cestius, the Roman
general, asked the priests how many persons had come to
Jerusalem at their annual festivals: the priests, numbering
the people by the lambs that had been slain, said,
"twenty-five myriads, 5,000, and 600."

It was God's quarrel, not their own, that they were now to
take up. These people were idolaters, and had seduced the
Israelites to practise the same abominations. Idolatry is an
offence against God; and the civil power has no authority to
meddle with what belongs to Him, without especial directions,
certified, as in this case, in the most unequivocal manner.
Private revenge, ambition, or avarice were to have no place in
this business: Jehovah is to be avenged; and through Him, the
children of Israel, (ver. 2,) because they were nearly ruined
by their idolatries. If Jehovah, instead of punishing sinners
by earthquakes, pestilence, or famine,is pleased expressly to
command any person or people to avenge his cause, this
commission justifies, nay sanctifies, war, massacre, or
devastation. Though none at present shew such a commission,
yet the Israelites could; and it is therefore absurd to
censure Moses, Joshua, and Israel, for the dreadful slaughter
made by them. God himself passed sentence of condemnation,
and employed them merely as ministers of his vengeance; and
unless it could be proved that the criminals did not deserve
their doom, or that God had no right to punish his rebellious
creatures, such objectors only shew their enmity to God by
becoming the unsolicited advocates of his enemies.

Twelve thousand in all--a small number in proportion to all

were under the conduct of captains of thousands and hundreds,
they probably had no general; for Phinehas seems to have

The sword of war should spare women and children, as incapable
of resisting; but the sword of justice knows no distinction,
except that of guilty or not guilty, or more or less guilty.
This was the execution of a righteous sentence upon a guilty
nation, in which the women were the greatest criminals; and it
may safely be said, that their lives were forfeited by their
personal transgressions. With respect to the execution of the
male infants, who cannot be supposed to have been guilty, God,
the author and supporter of life, who has a right to dispose
of it when and how he thinks proper, commanded it; and "shall
not the Judge of all the earth do right?"

It has been groundlessly asserted, that Moses here authorised
the Israelites to make concubines of the whole number of
female children; and an insidious objection against his
writings has been grounded upon this monstrous supposition.
But the whole tenor of the law, and especially a statute
recorded in De 21:10-14, proves most decisively to the
contrary. They were merely permitted to possess them as
female slaves, educating them in their families, and employing
them as domestics; for the laws concerning fornication,
concubinage, and marriage, were in full force, and prohibited
an Israelite even from marrying a captive, without delays and
previous formalities; and if he afterwards divorced her, he
was to set here at liberty, "because he had humbled her."

It appears from the enumeration here, that the Israelites, in
this war with the Midianites, took 32,000; female prisoners,
61,000; asses, 72,000; beeves, and 675,000; sheep and small
cattle; besides the immense number of males who fell in
battle, and the women and children who were slain by the
divine command. (ver. 17.) This booty was divided into equal
parts, by which partition a far larger share was justly given
to the warriors employed on the expedition, who were only
12,000, than to those, who being equally willing to go, were
ordered to stay in the camp. Each party was to give a certain
proportion to Jehovah, as their sovereign, in grateful
acknowledgement that to him they owed their success. The
soldiers to give to the Lord one out of every five hundred
persons, beeves, asses, and sheep, (ver. 28,) and the people,
who by staying at home risked nothing, and had no fatigue,
were to give one out of fifty of each of the above to the
Levites, who were far more numerous than the priests. (ver.
30.) The booty, its division among the soldiers and people,
and the proportion given by each to the Lord and to the
Levites, will be seen at one view by the following table:--
Sheep . . . . 675,000
To soldiers . . . 337,500
To God. . . . . . 675
To people . . . . 337,500
To Levites. . . . 6,750
Beeves. . . . 72,000
To soldiers . . . 36,000
To God. . . . . . 72

Asses . . . . 61,000

To soldiers . . . 16,000
To God. . . . . . 32
To people . . . . 16,000
To Levites. . . . 320
It does not appear that a single ox, sheep, or ass, was
required by Moses as his portion; or that there was any given
to him by the people; and though he had a family as well as
others, yet no provision was made for them above the common
lot of Levites!

This proposal was very equitable, and it was honestly made and
faithfully executed; though it did not imply that all men
capable of bearing arms should go, and so leave their families
and possessions defenceless, but only a sufficient detachment
of them. Among the inhabitants of the land were the
Ammonites, Moabites, Idumeans, and the remains of the
Midianites and Amorites; and as it was impossible for the
women and children to keep the defenced cities, when placed in
them, many of the men of war must of course stay behind. In
the last census (ch. 26), the tribe of Reuben consisted of
43,730; men; the tribe of Gad 40,500; and the tribe of Manasseh
52,700; the half of which is 26,350; which together amount to
110,580. Now from Jos 4:13, we learn, that of these tribes
only 40,000; armed men passed over Jordan to assist their
brethren: consequently 70,580; men were left behind for the
defence of the women, the children, and the flocks: which was
amply sufficient for this purpose.

If the persons concerned prevaricated, and so imposed on men,
or if they afterwards refused to fulfil their engagement, God
would most certainly detect and expose their wickedness, and
inflict condign punishment upon them. Of all the ways, says
Dr. South, to be taken for the prevention of that great plague
of mankind, Sin, there is none so rational and efficacious as
to confute and baffle those motives by which men are induced
to embrace it; and among all such motives, the heart of man
seems to be chiefly overpowered and prevailed upon by two,
viz. secrecy in committing sin, and impunity with respect to
its consequences. Accordingly, Moses, in this chapter, having
to deal with a company of men suspected of a base and
fraudulent design, though couched under a very fair pretence,
as most such designs are, endeavours to quash it in its very
conception, by secretly applying himself to encounter those
secret motives and arguments, which he knew were the most
likely to encourage them in it. And this he does very
briefly, but effectually, by assuring them, that how covertly
and artificially soever they might carry on their dark
project, yet their sin would infallibly find them out. Though
the subject and occasion of these words are indeed particular,
yet the design of them is manifestly of an universal import,
as reaching the case of all transgressors, in their first
entrance on any sinful act or course.

Cati(822c) a huge mole of sand, almost surrounded by the
Mediterranean, on which was built a temple to Jupiter Cassius.
Thevenot states, that at the village of Cati(8220)there is a well
of water unpleasant for drinking; but two miles off, another
whose water is good after standing a little.

Dr. Shaw places this port on the western shore of the Elanitic

Dsahab, or the golden port, by the Arabs; because it was from
this place that Solomon sent his ships to Ophir. He supposes
it to be about sixty miles from Sinai; and it is probable that
it was near the present Accaba, i.e., the end (of the sea).

These mountains were a ridge of rugged hills east of Jordan,
and north and west of the Arnon. Nebo, Pisgah, and Peor, were
but different names of the hills of which they were composed.
Eusebius and Jerome inform us, that some part of them, as one
went up to Heshbon, retained the old name of Abarim in their
time; and that the part called Nebo was opposite Jericho, not
far from the Jordan, six miles west from Heshbon, and seven
east from Livias. Dr. Shaw describes them as "an exceeding
high ridge of desolate mountains, no otherwise diversified
than by a succession of naked rocks and precipices; rendered
in some places the more frightful by a multiplicity of
torrents, which fall on each side of them. This ridge is
continued all along the eastern coast of the Dead sea." Mount
Nebo is now called Djebel Attarous; and is described as a
barren mountain, the highest point in the neighbourhood, with
an uneven plain on the top. Burckhardt, Travels, pp. 369,
370.

* salt sea eastward.
The lake Asphaltites, Dead sea, or Salt sea, is, according to
the most authentic accounts, about 70; miles in length, and 18
in breadth. Viewing this sea from the spot where the Jordan
discharges its waters into it, it takes a south-easterly
direction, visible for ten or fifteen miles, when it
disappears in a curve towards the east. Its surface is
generally unruffled, from the hollow of the basin in which it
lies scarcely admitting the free passage necessary for a
strong breeze: it is, however, for the same reason, subject
to whirlwinds or squalls of short duration. The mountains on
each side are apparently separated by a distance of eight
miles; but the expanse of water at this point has been
supposed not to exceed five or six: as it advances towards
the south, it evidently increases in breadth. The acrid
saltness of its waters is much greater than that of the sea;
and of such specific gravity that bodies will float on it that
would sink in common sea-water. It is probably on this
account that few fish can live in it; though the monks of St.
Saba affirmed to Dr. Shaw, that they had seen fish caught in
it.

These two tribes inherited the dominions of Sihon and Og, the
two vanquished kings of the Amorites, which extended from the
Arnon to Mount Hermon. Of those counties, Moses gave to the
tribe of Reuben the south-west part, which was bounded on the
south by the river Arnon, on the west by Jordan, and on the
north and east by the tribe of Gad. The tribe of Gad was
bounded by the river Jordan and tribe of Reuben on the west,
by the half tribe of Manasseh on the north, by the kingdom of
the Amorites and Arabia Deserta on the East, and by the tribe
of Reuben on the south. The part belonging to the tribe of
Manasseh was bounded by the tribe of Gad on the south, by the
sea of Galilee and part of Jordan on the west, by Hermon and
Lebanon on the north, and by the mountains of Trachonitis on
the east.

It is worthy of remark, that Moses does not follow any order
hitherto used in arranging the tribes, but places them exactly
in the order in which they possessed the land, and according
to their fraternal relationship. Judah is first, having the
first lot, in the South (Jos ch. 15); and next to him is
Simeon, because his inheritance was "within the inheritance of
the children of Judah." (Jos 19:1.) Benjamin, the third, had
his portion between "Judah and the children of Joseph." (Jos
18:11.) Dan was the fourth, and his lot was westward of
Benjamin. (Jos 19:40, 41.) Manasseh and his brother Ephraim
had their inheritances behind that of Benjamin. (Jos 16:7.)
Next these dwelt Zebulun and Issachar, (Jos 19:10-17;) and
then Asher and Naphtali. (Jos 19:24-32.)

經文：民數記 35:4-35:4 註釋:
* thousand cubits.
The Septuagint reads [dischilious pecheis] "two thousand
cubits," as in the following verse; but this reading is not
acknowledged by any other ancient version, except the Coptic,
nor by any of the MSS. collated by Kennicott and De Rossi.
Various modes have been proposed for reconciling the accounts
in these two verses, which appear in general to require full
as much explanation as the text itself. The explanation of
Maimonides is the only one that is intelligible, and appears
perfectly satisfactory. "The suburbs," says he, "of the
cities are expressed in the law to be 3,000; cubits on every
side, from the wall of the city and outwards. The first 1,000
cubits are the suburbs; and the 2,000, which they measured
without the suburbs, were for fields and vineyards." The
whole therefore, of the city, suburbs, fields, and vineyards,
may be represented by the following diagram:--

the appointment of these cities was a humane institution for

經文：民數記 35:26-35:26 註釋:
After the manslayer had been received into the city of refuge,
the avenger of blood could only act as prosecutor; and the
magistrates, in the presence of the people, were appointed to
decide the cause according to the rules here laid down.
Probably the accused person was tried at or near the place
where the deceased had been slain, and where evidence could
most easily be brought: and in case he was acquitted by the
decision of the judges, and with the approbation of the
people, he was conveyed back to the city of refuge, where he
was protected as a kind of prisoner at large, till the death
of the high priest; when the public loss, and the grief
occasioned by it, might be supposed to swallow up all personal
regrets and resentments: and then he was permitted to return
to his house and estate. But if, in the mean while, he
ventured to leave the city, and the avenger met him and slew
him, he was supposed to merit his doom by thus neglecting the
appointment of God for his preservation, and the avenger must
not be punished. This shews that in other cases, if the
avenger slew an innocent man on surmise, he was liable to the
punishment of a murderer; but if, by the testimony of two
credible witnesses, the man who had fled to the city of refuge
was adjudged guilty, he must without fail be put to death.

經文：民數記 35:32-35:32 註釋:
Ac 4:12 Ga 2:21 3:10-13,22 Re 5:9
The region east of Jordan was nearly as long as that on the
west, and therefore three cities were appointed in each
division. One or other of these cities would be within half a
day's journey of every part of the land; and as it would
rarely happen that the avenger of blood would be on the spot,
and none had a right to assault or detain the manslayer, at
least if no malicious intention was manifest, the unhappy men
would, therefore, get the start of their adversaries, and very
few of them be overtaken before they gained the place of
refuge. But then they must forsake their families,
employments, most important interests, and dearest comforts;
and they must neither loiter nor yield to weariness, nor
regard difficulties, nor slacken their pace, till they had got
safe within the walls of the city. The Jewish writers inform
us, that to afford every facility to those who thus fled for
their life, the road to these cities was always preserved in
good repair; and way-posts, upon which was inscribed REFUGE
were placed wherever needful, that they might not so much as
hesitate for a moment.

* The Lord commanded.
To one division of the tribe of Manasseh, a portion had been
assigned eastward of Jordan; but Zelophehad was of that
division, to which an inheritance was afterwards allotted west
of Jordan; yet, expecting the promised land, the elders of the
Manassites now propose a difficulty, upon the adjudged case of
Zelophehad's daughters. (ch. 27:1-11.) If the females should
inherit, in defect of male issue, and should intermarry with
other tribes they would diminish the interest, and weaken the
influence of their own tribes, and give occasion to future
confusion, and perhaps contention. The Manassites therefore
referred the case to Moses; and he, by the authority of God,
annexed a clause, which would effectually keep the tribes and
inheritances distinct, as long as it was observed. Heiresses
were not allowed to marry out of their own tribe, though
within those bounds they might consult their own inclinations.

CONCLUDING REMARKS.
Thus terminates the book of Numbers; a book containing a series
of the most astonishing providences and events. Every where and
in every circumstance God appears; and yet there is no
circumstance or occasion which does not justify those signal
displays of his grace and mercy; and in every relation we
perceive the consistency of the divine intentions, and the
propriety of those laws which he established.
