This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Gen_34:10 And ye shall dwell with us: and the land shall be before you; dwell and trade ye therein, and get you possessions therein.
Ver. 10. And ye shall dwell with us, &c.] Thus the world tempts the saints, by offer of profits, pleasures, and preferments. Sed surdo cantilenam. For they answer the world, as here, "We,cannot do this thing"; {Gen_34:14} or, as the children of Israel bespake the king of Edom, "Let us pass, I pray thee, through thy country: we will not pass through the fields of profit, or vineyards of pleasure, &c.; we will go by the king’s highway," chalked unto us in the Holy Scriptures: we will not turn to the right hand, or to the left, for any allurement or affrightment of thine, "until we have passed thy borders". {Num_20:17}
