Numbers 33:29Meaning & Commentary from the Church Fathers

The twenty-sixth section in our interpretation denotes urgency, echoing the Psalm's declaration that “the ambassadors shall come out of Egypt,” or in the Hebrew, “they that hasten out of Egypt shall come.” After experiencing the rewards of our efforts, we should avoid complacency and idleness; instead, let us move forward with determination, leaving behind what has been while striving towards what lies ahead.
