申命记 8章4节 到 8章4节 背景资料 上一笔 下一笔

       Many have attempted to give the following meaning to this
       text:--"God so amply provided for them all the necessaries of
       life, that they never were obliged to wear tattered garments,
       nor were their feet injured for lack of shoes or sandals."
       Now, though the Israelites doubtless brought out of Egypt more
       raiment than what they had upon them; and they might
       manufacture the fleeces of their flocks in the wilderness; and
       also might be favoured by Providence with other supplies from
       the neighbouring nations or travelling hordes of Arabs; yet,
       when we consider their immense numbers, their situation and
       long continuance in the wilderness, and the very strong
       expressions made use of in the text, why should we question
       the extraordinary and miraculous interposition of God in this
       respect, as well as in others, not less stupendous in their
       nature, or constant in their supply?
