Num_33:29 And they went from Mithcah, and pitched in Hashmonah.
Ver. 29. From Mitheah.] Which signifies sweetness.
And pitched in Chasmonah.] Which signifies swiftness. We must also, when we have tasted of God’s sweetness, use all possible swiftness in the ways of holiness; as Jacob, when he had seen visions of God at Bethel, "lifted up his feet," {Gen_29:1, marg.} and went on his way lustily, like a generous horse after a bait, or a giant after his wine. "The joy of the Lord is your strength." {Neh_8:10}
