Abide Death Die Died Doorway Entering Entrance Gate Lepers Leprous Opening Seated Sit Sitting Stay Till Town Waiting
7:3 And there were four leprous men at the {e} entering in of the gate: and they said one to another, Why sit we here until we die?
(e) For it was commanded in the law that they should dwell apart, and not among their brethren, Le 13:46.
7:3-11 God can, when he pleases, make the stoutest heart to tremble; and as for those who will not fear God, he can make them fear at the shaking of a leaf. Providence ordered it, that the lepers came as soon as the Syrians were fled. Their consciences told them that mischief would befall them, if they took care of themselves only. Natural humanity, and fear of punishment, are powerful checks on the selfishness of the ungodly. These feelings tend to preserve order and kindness in the world; but they who have found the unsearchable riches of Christ, will not long delay to report the good tidings to others. From love to him, not from selfish feelings, they will gladly share their earthly good things with their brethren.
