Deuteronomy 1:12 - John Trapp Complete Commentary

Bible Comments

How can I myself alone bear your cumbrance, and your burden, and your strife?

Ver. 12. Hear your cumbrance.] A prince's temples are not so compassed with a crown, as his mind besieged with cares; nor is he so lifted up with the splendour of his train, as cast down with the multitude of his fears. See Trapp on " Deu 1:9 " St Paul also had the "cumber a of the churches." 2Co 11:28 All care cumbered and mustered together, and that with anxiety; with the same solicitude that a man hath about his own most important business.
