Why might not the precious things of Jericho be taken for their own use, as well as the Gold, Earings and Ornaments of Egypt? Nay, had they not more right to that they won with the sword than that they borrowed? Or would Jericho and her riches defile their hands more than Egypt and her riches? Beloved, there was a providence beyond the reach of the Israelites (as St. Basil made it manifest) in that grace and favour which God gave them to rob the Egyptians, for without those Ornaments how could they embellish and beautifie his Tabernacle? In the Wilderness there were no stones to set in the Brestplate and Ephod but such as were cut out of the Rock at Massah, no Silk or Scarlet spun in the Desart. |
