40 But as for you, turn, and set out into the desert by the road to the Sea of Reeds.


Commentarius in hunc versum  

By Alexander Payne

Verse 40. But it is necessary, in order that the evil cravings of the unregenerate heart may be removed, that the soul should be brought back into a state of temptation and trial, and where evil spirits will infest it and draw those evils forth.
