Verse 25<\/span>. He made it a statute and an ordinance for Israel<\/B><\/I>] Nothing could be more just and proper than this law: he who stays at home to defend house and property, has an equal right to the booty taken by those who go out to the war. There was a practice<\/I> of this kind among the Israelites long before this time; see Nu 31:27<\/span>; Jos 22:8<\/span>; and the note on this latter verse. See Clarke on Jos 22:8<\/span>.<\/P> <\/P> Unto this day.<\/B><\/I>] This is another indication that this book was composed long after the facts it commemorates.

Or “upwards” x, of old, formerly; and so may refer either to what was done at the war with Midian, Nu 31:27<\/span>; or in the times of Abraham, Ge 14:23<\/span>; and so Jarchi observes, it is not said, “henceforward”, but “upwards”, it being a statute and custom in the days of Abraham; the same he notes on Ge 14:24<\/span>; where he, David, learnt this from thence; though Josephus y is express for it, that this law obtained from the time of David; and such was his authority, though as yet not king, but a wise and just commander:<\/p>\n that he made it a statute and an ordinance for Israel unto this day<\/strong>; it appeared so reasonable and equitable, that it was always regarded and attended to.<\/p>\n x “et supra”, Pagninus, Montanus; “et jam olim”, Tigurine version. y Antiqu. l. 6. c, 14. sect. 6.<\/p>\n (25) A statute and an ordinance for Israel.<\/strong>The decree that they, who for good reasons tarry with the stuff, shall share alike with those who go down to the battle, which became a received ordinance in Israel, is not without its meaning. In the Heavenly Church of God<\/em><\/p>\n His state<\/p>\n Is kingly; thousands at his bidding speed, MILTON: Sonnet <\/em>19<\/p>\n Moses praying on the hill contributed to the victory over Amalek even more than Joshua fighting in the plain (Exo. 17:11<\/span>). All Christians are not of equal strength, and some follow Christ to the conflict, others tarry with the stuff. Some fight the Lords battles in the din of active life; others, aged men and women, the Simeons and Annas of the Church . . . weak in body but strong in faith, fight with the peaceful arms of prayers and tears; Christ is omnipotent and merciful He rewards those who tarry in patience with the stuff, as well as those who go forth in the march to fight valiantly in the battle.Bishop Hall, in Wordsworth. 25<\/strong>. <\/strong> He made it a statute <\/strong> But it had been known in Israel before.

The truth is, that all God’s laws are grounded upon so much good reason, that though he had never made them, yet it had been our wisest way to have lived according to them; since his will is not only recta<\/em> but regula,<\/em> the very rule of right.<\/p>\n And it was so.
