11 He luultiin myös Refalaisiksi, niinkuin Enakilaiset, ja Moabilaiset kutsuivat heitä Emiläisiksi.

Commentarius in hunc versum  

By Alexander Payne

Verse 11. Which also filled the mind with the idea of its own super-eminence, as all principles derived from love of self, and are very powerful on account of their proceeding from hereditary evil in the will; but those who are in external worship consider only the outward results of these things. [Note (verses 10-11).—Some idea may be formed of the power of persuasions derived from hereditary evil and the desires of the natural mind by reflecting how self-interest twists and imperceptibly warps one's thoughts, and how difficult it is to form a clear and impartial judgement in any matter in which one's interests are involved; also how any passion or desire of the natural mind when it obtains any power over the soul obliterates all the rational considerations that would check it.]
