How preachers through history handled this text
13 public-domain excerpts on Numbers 10, from the church fathers to the Puritans.
“After the Israelites had continued nearly a year at mount Sinai, and all was settled respecting their future worship, they began their march to Canaan. True religion begins with the knowledge of the holy law of God, and humiliation for sin, but we must go on towards perfection, in acquaintance with Christ and his gospel, and those effectual encouragements, motives, and assistances to holiness, which it proposes. They took their journey according to the commandment of the Lord, De 1:6-8, and as the cloud led them. …”
— Matthew Henry, Commentary on the Whole Bible (Concise), on Numbers 10:11–28 (Public Domain)
