• The number three is significant in this connection—three days’ journey being the distance of death. (Compare Num. 10:33.) They must moreover sacrifice to the Lord their God, as He should command them. Here are truly grand and fundamental principles. Nothing but death—death with Christ—can separate us from Egypt. Hence Paul says, “God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world” (Gal. 6:14) (Egypt) “is crucified unto me, and I unto the world” (Egypt) (Gal. 6:14). No outward change or reformation will bring us out of the house of bondage—nothing but the cross—the death of Christ, made ours through faith in His name. Secondly, there must be obedience to the Lord. No other authority must for one moment be allowed or accepted. (“Judgments Upon Egypt: Exodus 7-11” by E. Dennett)
