effort of imagination to realize the possibility of a
land in famine. We are apt to forget that we (like
our ancestor Jacob) owe " bread to eat and raiment
to wear " to the Divine ordering of Nature by which
bread is brought forth out of the earth, and grass is
made to grow on the mountains. The custom of
saying a word of thanks at meals, however brief, to
Him Who also "giveth to the beast his food, and to
the young ravens which cry," is a fitting offering to
God, and a timely reminder to ourselves that the
dominion of man over the beasts of the field, the
fowl of the air, and the fish of the sea is a gift and a
trust from the Almighty.
Let us always remember that we, who have been
given dominion over all dumb creatures, have also
been given the responsibility of using our power
justly and kindly. We shall not be held guiltless
if, by thoughtlessness or cruelty, we wantonly inflict
pain on birds or beasts or fishes or insects; or if
we practise or sanction prodigal waste of animal life.

His servant, ye children of Jacob His chosen. 7 He
is the Lord our God: His judgments are in all
the earth.
8 He hath remembered his covenant for ever, the
word which He commanded to a thousand generations.
9 Which covenant He made with Abraham, and His
oath unto Isaac; 10 And confirmed the same unto
Jacob for a law, and to Israel for an everlasting
covenant: 11 Saying, Unto thee will I give the
land of Canaan, the lot of your inheritance:
12 When they were but a few men in number; yea,
very few, and strangers . in it. 13 When they
went from one nation to another, from one
kingdom to another people; 14 He suffered no man
to do them wrong: yea, He reproved kings for their
sakes; 15 Saying, Touch not Mine anointed, and
do My prophets no harm.
16 Moreover He called for a famine upon the
land: He brake the whole staff of bread. 17 He
sent a man before them, even Joseph, who was
sold for a servant: 18 Whose feet they hurt with
fetters: his soul entered into the iron: 19 Until the
time that His word came: the command of the
Lord tried him. 20 The king sent and loosed him:
even the ruler of the people, and let him go free.
21 He made him lord of his house, and ruler of all
his substance: 22 To bind his princes at his
pleasure; and teach his senators wisdom.

journed in the land of Ham. 24 And He increased

hate His people, to deal subtilly with His servants.
26 He sent Moses His servant: and Aaron whom
He had chosen. 27 They showed His signs among
them, and wonders in the land of Ham. 28 He
sent darkness, and made it dark; and they rebelled
not against his word. 29 He turned their waters
into blood, and slew their fish. 30 Their land
brought forth frogs in abundance, in the chambers

sorts of flies, and lice in all their borders. 32 He
gave them hail for rain, and flaming fire in their
land. 33 He smote their vines also and their fig
trees; and brake the trees of their borders. 34 He
spake, and the locusts came, and caterpillars, and
that without number, 35 And did eat up all the
herbs in their land, and devour the fruit of their

them the lands of the heathen: and they inherited
the labour of the people; 45 That they might
observe His statutes, and keep His laws. Praise ye
the Lord.
*}ote on The 105th, 106th and 107th Psalms form one
"' 'long ode in three parts. Each part presents a
different aspect of the might and mercy of God.
The 105th Psalm proclaims with paeans of praise
and thanks that God alone is the Creator of all, and
that the whole universe is governed by the Divine
ordering. "He is the Lord our God: His judg-
ments are in all the earth. "
The Psalmist calls on Israel to proclaim this God-
given Message to the world.
The greatness of the Message is indicated by the
vividly told story of the Messenger Race, mercifully
and marvellously preserved through all sorts of dan-
gers and vicissitudes to bear and to declare to
countless generations the sacred, everlasting Message
confided to it, the Message of the Covenant between
God and man, between the Divine spirit and every
human being, however humble.
This covenant is the very essence of Judaism.
Belief in the one and only God carries with it the belief
that every human soul is directly responsible to the
Creator, with no human or superhuman intermediary
between the spirit of God and the soul of man. Over
and over again this is insisted on in Deuteronomy.
Moses presents no elaborate dogma to justify virtue or
to condemn vice, but he insists on practical effort
in daily life to obey the eternal moral laws that

enable the human mind to discern between Right mote on

"And now, Israel, what doth the Lord thy God
"require of thee, but to fear the Lord thy God, to
"walk in all His ways, and to love Him, and to serve
"the Lord thy God with all thy heart and with all
"thy soul " (Deut. x. 12).
"This commandment which I command thee this
"day is not hidden from thee, neither is it far off.
"It is not in heaven, that thou shouldest say, Who
"shall go up for us to heaven, and bring it to us, that
"we may hear it and do it? Neither is it beyond the
"sea, that thou shouldest say, Who shall go over the
"sea for us, and bring it unto us, that we may hear
"it and do it? But this word is very nigh thee, in
"thy mouth and in thy heart, that thou mayest do
"it" (Deut. xxx. 11--14).
Moses calls on all Israel, and through Israel on
all mankind, to love God with all the power of love,
of thought, and of action (Deut. vi. 5).
This is the ideal of life to which every one of the
Messenger Race must be ever striving to attain, in
their every thought and word and deed.
The 105th Psalm is not described as a Psalm of
David, but (like the 96th) a portion of it forms a part
of David's song of Praise when the ark was brought to
Jerusalem. * (See notes on Psalms lxxxi. and xcvi. )

PSALM CVI.
Praise ye the Lord. O give thanks unto the
Lord; for He is good: for His mercy endureth
for ever. 2 Who can utter the mighty acts of
the Lord? who can show forth all His praise?
3 Blessed are they that keep judgment, and he that
doeth righteousness at all times. 4 Remember me, O
Lord, with the favour that Thou bearest unto Thy
people: O visit me with Thy salvation; 5 That I
may see the good of Thy chosen, that I may rejoice
in the gladness of Thy nation, that I may glory with
Thine inheritance.
6 We have sinned with our fathers, we have
committed iniquity, we have done wickedly. 7 Our
fathers understood not Thy wonders in Egypt; they
remembered not the multitude of Thy mercies; but
provoked Him at the sea, even at the Red sea.
8 Nevertheless He saved them for His name's sake,
that He might make His mighty power to be known.
9 He rebuked the Red sea also, and it was dried
up: so He led them through the depths, as through
the wilderness. 10 And He saved them from the
hand of him that hated them, and redeemed them
from the hand of the enemy. 11 And the waters
covered their enemies: there was not one of them
left. 12 Then believed they His words; they sang
His praise. 13 They soon forgat His works; they
waited not for His counsel: 14 But lusted exceed-
ingly in the wilderness, and tempted God in the

sent leanness into their soul.
16 They envied Moses also in the camp, and
Aaron the saint of the Lord. 17 The earth opened
and swallowed up Dathan, and covered the company
of Abiram. 18 And a fire was kindled in their
company; the flame burned up the wicked.
19 They made a calf in Horeb, and worshipped the
molten image. 20 Thus they changed their glory
into the similitude of an ox that eateth grass. 21
They forgat God their saviour, which had done great
things in Egypt; 22 Wondrous works in the land
of Ham, and terrible things by the Red sea. 23
Therefore He said that he would destroy them, had
not Moses His chosen stood before him in the
breach, to turn away His wrath, lest He should
destroy them.
24 Yea, they despised the pleasant land, they
believed not His word: 25 But murmured in their
tents, and hearkened not unto the voice of the Lord.
26 Therefore He lifted up his hand against them, to
overthrow them in the wilderness: 27 To overthrow
their seed also among the nations, and to scatter
them in the lands.
28 They joined themselves also unto Baalpeor,
and ate the sacrifices of the dead. 29 Thus they
provoked Him to anger with their inventions: and
the plague brake in upon them. 30 Then stood up
Phinehas, and executed judgment: and so the plague
was stayed. 31 And that was counted unto him for
righteousness unto all generations for evermore.

Meribah so that it went ill with Moses for their sakes:
33 Because they provoked his spirit, so that he spake
unadvisedly with his lips.
34 They did not destroy the nations, concerning
whom the Lord commanded them: 35 But were
mingled among the heathen, and learned their
works. 36 And they served their idols: which were
a snare unto them. 37 Yea, they sacrificed their
sons and their daughters unto idols. 38 And shed
innocent blood, even the blood of their sons and of
their daughters, whom they sacrificed unto the idols
of Canaan: and the land was polluted with blood.
39 Thus were they defiled with their own works.
40 Therefore was the wrath of the Lord kindled
against His people, insomuch that He abhorred His
own inheritance. 41 And He gave them into the
hand of the heathen; and they that hated them ruled
over them. 42 Their enemies also oppressed them,
and they were brought into subjection under their
hand.
43 Many times did He deliver them; but they
provoked Him with their counsel, and were brought
low for their iniquity. 44 Nevertheless He regarded
their affliction when He heard their cry: 45 And
He remembered for them His covenant, and repented
according to the multitude of His mercies. 46 He
made them also to be pitied of all those that carried
them captives.

effort of imagination to realize the possibility of a
land in famine. We are apt to forget that we (like
our ancestor Jacob) owe " bread to eat and raiment
to wear " to the Divine ordering of Nature by which
bread is brought forth out of the earth, and grass is
made to grow on the mountains. The custom of
saying a word of thanks at meals, however brief, to
Him Who also "giveth to the beast his food, and to
the young ravens which cry," is a fitting offering to
God, and a timely reminder to ourselves that the
dominion of man over the beasts of the field, the
fowl of the air, and the fish of the sea is a gift and a
trust from the Almighty.
Let us always remember that we, who have been
given dominion over all dumb creatures, have also
been given the responsibility of using our power
justly and kindly. We shall not be held guiltless
if, by thoughtlessness or cruelty, we wantonly inflict
pain on birds or beasts or fishes or insects; or if
we practise or sanction prodigal waste of animal life.

oath unto Isaac; 10 And confirmed the same unto

covenant: 11 Saying, Unto thee will I give the

sakes; 15 Saying, Touch not Mine anointed, and
do My prophets no harm.

sold for a servant: 18 Whose feet they hurt with
fetters: his soul entered into the iron: 19 Until the

, CV. His people greatly; and made them stronger
than their enemies. 25 He turned their heart to
hate His people, to deal subtilly with His servants.
26 He sent Moses His servant: and Aaron whom
He had chosen. 27 They showed His signs among
them, and wonders in the land of Ham. 28 He
sent darkness, and made it dark; and they rebelled
not against his word. 29 He turned their waters
into blood, and slew their fish. 30 Their land
brought forth frogs in abundance, in the chambers
of their kings. 31 He spake, and there came divers
sorts of flies, and lice in all their borders. 32 He
gave them hail for rain, and flaming fire in their
land. 33 He smote their vines also and their fig
trees; and brake the trees of their borders. 34 He
spake, and the locusts came, and caterpillars, and
that without number, 35 And did eat up all the
herbs in their land, and devour the fruit of their
ground. 36 He smote also all the firstborn in their
land, the chief of all their strength. 37 He brought
them forth also with silver and gold: and there was
not one feeble person among their tribes.
38 Egypt was glad when they departed: for the
fear of them fell upon them. 39 He spread a cloud
for a covering; and fire to give light in the night.
40 The people asked, and He brought quails, and
satisfied them with the bread of heaven. 41 He
opened the rock, and the waters gushed out; they
ran in the dry places like a river. 42 For He
remembered His holy promise, and Abraham His
servant. 43 And He brought forth His people with

ps. CV. joy, and His chosen with gladness: 44 And gave
them the lands of the heathen: and they inherited
the labour of the people; 45 That they might
observe His statutes, and keep His laws. Praise ye
the Lord.
*}ote on The 105th, 106th and 107th Psalms form one
"' 'long ode in three parts. Each part presents a
different aspect of the might and mercy of God.
The 105th Psalm proclaims with paeans of praise
and thanks that God alone is the Creator of all, and
that the whole universe is governed by the Divine
ordering. "He is the Lord our God: His judg-
ments are in all the earth. "
The Psalmist calls on Israel to proclaim this God-
given Message to the world.
The greatness of the Message is indicated by the
vividly told story of the Messenger Race, mercifully
and marvellously preserved through all sorts of dan-
gers and vicissitudes to bear and to declare to
countless generations the sacred, everlasting Message
confided to it, the Message of the Covenant between
God and man, between the Divine spirit and every
human being, however humble.
This covenant is the very essence of Judaism.
Belief in the one and only God carries with it the belief
that every human soul is directly responsible to the
Creator, with no human or superhuman intermediary
between the spirit of God and the soul of man. Over
and over again this is insisted on in Deuteronomy.
Moses presents no elaborate dogma to justify virtue or
to condemn vice, but he insists on practical effort
in daily life to obey the eternal moral laws that

enable the human mind to discern between Right mote on
and Wrong. CV.
"And now, Israel, what doth the Lord thy God
"require of thee, but to fear the Lord thy God, to
"walk in all His ways, and to love Him, and to serve
"the Lord thy God with all thy heart and with all
"thy soul " (Deut. x. 12).
"This commandment which I command thee this
"day is not hidden from thee, neither is it far off.
"It is not in heaven, that thou shouldest say, Who
"shall go up for us to heaven, and bring it to us, that
"we may hear it and do it? Neither is it beyond the
"sea, that thou shouldest say, Who shall go over the
"sea for us, and bring it unto us, that we may hear
"it and do it? But this word is very nigh thee, in
"thy mouth and in thy heart, that thou mayest do
"it" (Deut. xxx. 11--14).
Moses calls on all Israel, and through Israel on
all mankind, to love God with all the power of love,
of thought, and of action (Deut. vi. 5).
This is the ideal of life to which every one of the
Messenger Race must be ever striving to attain, in
their every thought and word and deed.
The 105th Psalm is not described as a Psalm of
David, but (like the 96th) a portion of it forms a part
of David's song of Praise when the ark was brought to
Jerusalem. * (See notes on Psalms lxxxi. and xcvi. )

PSALM CVI.
Praise ye the Lord. O give thanks unto the
Lord; for He is good: for His mercy endureth
for ever. 2 Who can utter the mighty acts of
the Lord? who can show forth all His praise?
3 Blessed are they that keep judgment, and he that
doeth righteousness at all times. 4 Remember me, O
Lord, with the favour that Thou bearest unto Thy
people: O visit me with Thy salvation; 5 That I
may see the good of Thy chosen, that I may rejoice
in the gladness of Thy nation, that I may glory with
Thine inheritance.
6 We have sinned with our fathers, we have
committed iniquity, we have done wickedly. 7 Our
fathers understood not Thy wonders in Egypt; they
remembered not the multitude of Thy mercies; but
provoked Him at the sea, even at the Red sea.
8 Nevertheless He saved them for His name's sake,
that He might make His mighty power to be known.
9 He rebuked the Red sea also, and it was dried
up: so He led them through the depths, as through
the wilderness. 10 And He saved them from the
hand of him that hated them, and redeemed them
from the hand of the enemy. 11 And the waters
covered their enemies: there was not one of them
left. 12 Then believed they His words; they sang
His praise. 13 They soon forgat His works; they
waited not for His counsel: 14 But lusted exceed-
ingly in the wilderness, and tempted God in the

sent leanness into their soul.
16 They envied Moses also in the camp, and
Aaron the saint of the Lord. 17 The earth opened
and swallowed up Dathan, and covered the company
of Abiram. 18 And a fire was kindled in their
company; the flame burned up the wicked.
19 They made a calf in Horeb, and worshipped the
molten image. 20 Thus they changed their glory
into the similitude of an ox that eateth grass. 21
They forgat God their saviour, which had done great
things in Egypt; 22 Wondrous works in the land
of Ham, and terrible things by the Red sea. 23
Therefore He said that he would destroy them, had
not Moses His chosen stood before him in the
breach, to turn away His wrath, lest He should
destroy them.
24 Yea, they despised the pleasant land, they
believed not His word: 25 But murmured in their
tents, and hearkened not unto the voice of the Lord.
26 Therefore He lifted up his hand against them, to
overthrow them in the wilderness: 27 To overthrow
their seed also among the nations, and to scatter
them in the lands.
28 They joined themselves also unto Baalpeor,
and ate the sacrifices of the dead. 29 Thus they
provoked Him to anger with their inventions: and
the plague brake in upon them. 30 Then stood up
Phinehas, and executed judgment: and so the plague
was stayed. 31 And that was counted unto him for
righteousness unto all generations for evermore.

. CVI. 32 They provoked anger also at the waters of
Meribah so that it went ill with Moses for their sakes:
33 Because they provoked his spirit, so that he spake
unadvisedly with his lips.
34 They did not destroy the nations, concerning
whom the Lord commanded them: 35 But were
mingled among the heathen, and learned their
works. 36 And they served their idols: which were
a snare unto them. 37 Yea, they sacrificed their
sons and their daughters unto idols. 38 And shed
innocent blood, even the blood of their sons and of
their daughters, whom they sacrificed unto the idols
of Canaan: and the land was polluted with blood.
39 Thus were they defiled with their own works.
40 Therefore was the wrath of the Lord kindled
against His people, insomuch that He abhorred His
own inheritance. 41 And He gave them into the
hand of the heathen; and they that hated them ruled
over them. 42 Their enemies also oppressed them,
and they were brought into subjection under their
hand.
43 Many times did He deliver them; but they
provoked Him with their counsel, and were brought
low for their iniquity. 44 Nevertheless He regarded
their affliction when He heard their cry: 45 And
He remembered for them His covenant, and repented
according to the multitude of His mercies. 46 He
made them also to be pitied of all those that carried
them captives.
47 Save us, O Lord our God, and gather us from
among the heathen, to give thanks unto Thy holy
