This Chapter Verse Commentaries:





Before him: when God was leading the Israelites out of Egypt into Canaan, he made the pestilence to go before him, so preparing room for his people.



The pestilence, which wasted the inhabitants of Canaan, swept them out.



Burning coals; burning fevers, and other distempers of fiery and destructive nature, which destroyed the accursed nations.



Went forth; as sent, and observing the way he directed.



At his feet; kept even pace, or waited on him, were his immediate forerunners. All this mentioned as arguments to prevail for somewhat like these for Israel, and against Israel’s enemies. O God, revive some such work amidst us.
