Numbers 20:17 - John Trapp Complete Commentary

Bible Comments

Let us pass, I pray thee, through thy country: we will not pass through the fields, or through the vineyards, neither will we drink [of] the water of the wells: we will go by the king's [high] way, we will not turn to the right hand nor to the left, until we have passed thy borders.

Ver. 17. We will not pass.] So should a Christian bespeak the world. Let us pass through thy country; we will neither touch nor taste of thy cares, but go by the king's highway, that good old way that God hath scored out unto us, until we arrive at the key of Canaan, at the kingdom of heaven.
