Deuteronomy 1:19

Funda

       

19 And we set out from Horeb, and went through all that great and terrible desert which you saw on the way to the hill-country of the Amorites, as Yehowah our God commanded us; and we came as far as Kadesh-barnea.

Verse 19. And when the soul left the state in which it had been instructed in truths from the Word, it passed through temptations in which, the mind appeared deprived of all joy and happiness, and was oppressed by evils and falses. These are perceived to be in the soul when it is in a state of self-love, and for this reason it is remitted into this state by the Lord, after which the regenerating soul comes into the affection of interior or rational truth (Kadesh-barnea).
