Numbers 25:16 | Matthew Henry's Commentary
And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, — Numbers 25:16
Source Coverage: Numbers 25:16-18
We read not that any Midianites died of the plague; God punished them with the sword of an enemy, not with the rod of a father. We must set ourselves against whatever is an occasion of sin to us, , . Whatever draws us to sin, should be a vexation to us, as a thorn in the flesh. And none will be more surely and severely punished than those who, after Satan's example, and with his subtlety, tempt
others to sin.
