Deuteronomy 1:15

Study

       

15 Then I took the heads of your tribes, wise and experienced men, and made them heads over you: chiefs of thousands, chiefs of hundreds, chiefs of fifties, chiefs of tens, and officers, out of your tribes.

Commentarius in hunc versum  

By Alexander Payne

Verse 15. Thus by influx from Divine truth the best principles are selected to conduce to true wisdom and rationality and made rulers over the mind, primary truths in successive order from the truth proceeding immediately from the Divine to those communicating with the most external things. [Note.— This subject will be found more particularly explained in the explanation of Exodus 18:17-23 in the "Arcana Coelestia," and particularly in Arcana Coelestia 8712-8717, etc.]
