Numbers 10:29

It is more than probable, that this Hobab was either the same as Jethro, or the son of Jethro. Certain it is, that the same word signifies both father in law, and brother in law. See Exodus 18:1. But leaving this point, as not very important, I would rather the Reader should attend to the very interesting subject, contained in Moses' pressing invitation to Hobab, to accompany Israel to Canaan. Reader! is not the same language made use of by gracious souls now to call others to the like fellowship in JESUS? Are not we journeying to the place of rest, which remaineth for the people of GOD? My brother, sister, father, friend, relation, in all the ties of nature, I would say to everyone I know, come thou with us, there's enough in JESUS for all. Depend upon it GOD hath spoken good concerning Israel. That is a sweet scripture, Psalms 45:10.
