Numbers 32:1-5

There can be no question but that those plains of Moab were most fruitful and desirable situations. But alas! what are the plains of Moab to the land of Judah, which is the glory of all lands. In like manner, in a spiritual sense, what are the pleasant things brought forth by the sun, or the pleasant things put forth by the moon, to the good-will of him that dwelleth in the bush. Deu_33:14; Deu_33:16. Reader! is not every man by nature a Reubenite, who desires to set up his resting place on this side the land of promise?
