Numbers 35:8

Study

       

8 And as for the cities which you give from the possession of the sons of Israel, from the larger tribes you shall take more, but from the smaller you shall take less; each shall give some of its cities to the Levites according to its inheritance which it receives.


Commentary on this verse  

By Henry MacLagan

Verse 8. Moreover, this provision in the external man for the reception and support of charity, is to be according to the state of the internal; for if the internal is abundant in charity, its external will be in agreement therewith as to truths, and therefore much charity is rich in truths, and little charity is poor in truths. For the man of the church must acknowledge that he has all truths from the Lord through charity and for the sake of charity.
