What does Numbers 27:17 mean?
Which may go out before them, and which may go in before
them,
and which may lead them out, and which may bring them
in
Which may lead them out, and go before them in war, and command
them in battle and bring them in peace, having conquered their
enemies; or these phrases only mean the administration of civil
government among them, and diligence and assiduity in it, see (
2
Chronicles 1:10 ) , unless it has any peculiar respect to the
leading the people of Israel out of the wilderness, and
introducing them into the land of Canaan:
that the congregation of the Lord be not as sheep which
have no
shepherd;
and so wander about, having none to guide them into proper
pastures, or to protect them from beasts of prey; which is to be
in a most forlorn and distressed condition; see ( Matthew 9:36
) .
