Deuteronomy 1:2 (There are eleven days' journey from Horeb by the way of mount Seir to Kadeshbarnea.) In its present setting this brief geographical note was, doubtless, meant to suggest the lesson of the evil results of disobedience. "Eleven days' journey," yet the fortieth year still saw them in the wilderness. We learn: 1. Sin turns short ways into long ones. 2. Sin entails on the transgressor needless trouble and sorrow. 3. Sin fills life with fruitless regrets. 4. Sin delays fulfillment of God's promises. The path of obedience is in the end the shortest, easiest, safest, and happiest. - J.O. Parallel Verses KJV: (There are eleven days' journey from Horeb by the way of mount Seir unto Kadeshbarnea.)WEB: It is eleven days' [journey] from Horeb by the way of Mount Seir to Kadesh Barnea. |
