Moses commanded us a law, [even] the inheritance of the congregation of Jacob.
Ver. 4. Moses commanded us a law.] These are the words of those saints above mentioned, expressing their good affection to the law and to Moses, by whose mediation they received it.

It confines them to live in that element where they would live, as if one should be confined to Paradise, where he would be, though there were no such law.
