(See the parallel passages.) The Arabs and Persians use the same word to express the same thing; using the expressions, \"May the shadow (zulli) of thy prosperity be extended.\" \"May the shadow of thy prosperity be spread over the heads of thy well-wishers.\" And in an elegant distich, \"May your protection never be removed from my head; may God extend your shadow (zullikem) eternally.\" The loftiest and most esteemed title of the sultan, says Thornton, because given him by the kings of Persia, is zil ullah, shadow of God.

Therefore he followed God fully; literally, \"and he filled after me:\" God shewed him the way he was to take and the line of conduct he was to pursue, and he filled up this line, and in all things followed the will of his Maker.\nfollowed me: Num 32:11, Num 32:12; Deu 6:5; Jos 14:8, Jos 14:9; Ch1 29:9, Ch1 29:18; Ch2 25:2; Psa 119:80, Psa 119:145; Pro 23:26; Act 11:23; Eph 6:6; Col 3:23\nthe Amalekites: Num 13:29\nturn you: Num 14:4; Deu 1:40; Psa 81:11-13; Pro 1:31\nHow long: Num 14:11; Exo 16:28; Mat 17:7; Mar 9:19\nI have heard: Exo 16:12; Co1 10:10\nAs truly: Num 14:21, Num 14:23, Num 26:64, Num 26:65, Num 32:11; Deu 1:35; Psa 90:8, Psa 90:9; Heb 3:17\nas ye have: Num 14:2\ncarcases: Num 14:32, Num 14:33; Co1 10:5; Heb 3:17; Jde 1:5\nall that were: Num 1:45, Num 26:64\nsware: Heb. lifted up my hand, Gen 14:22\nsave Caleb: Num 14:38, Num 26:65, Num 32:12; Deu 1:36-38\nlittle ones: Num 26:6, Num 26:64; Deu 1:39\nye said: Num 14:3\nknow: Their children, by possessing Canaan, knew what a good land their fathers had despised.\nthe land: Gen 25:34; Psa 106:24; Pro 1:25, Pro 1:30; Mat 22:5; Act 13:41; Heb 12:16, Heb 12:17\nshall wander in the wilderness: or, feed, This implies, that they should move from place to place in the deserts, as the Bedounin Arabs, who have no certain dwelling, but rove about seeking pasture for their flocks.

Deu 31:16, Deu 31:17; Sa1 2:30; Zac 11:10\nI will surely: Num 23:19\nthis evil: Num 14:27-29, Num 26:65; Co1 10:5, Co1 10:11; Heb 3:19\nthose men: Thus ten of the twelve who searched out the land were struck dead, by the justice of God, on the spot. In commemoration of this event, the Jews, to this day, celebrate a fast, on the seventh day of the month Elul.\ndied: Num 14:12, Num 16:49, Num 25:9; Jer 28:16, Jer 28:17, Jer 29:32; Co1 10:10; Heb 3:17; Jde 1:5\nmourned greatly: Exo 33:4; Pro 19:3; Isa 26:16; Mat 8:12; Heb 12:17\nrose up: Deu 1:41; Ecc 9:3; Mat 7:21-23, Mat 26:11, Mat 26:12; Luk 13:25\nfor we have sinned: We are sensible of our sin, and repent of it; and are now ready to do as Caleb and Joshua exhorted us. Or, though we have sinned, yet we hope God will make good his promise.\nbut it shall: Job 4:9; Jer 2:37, Jer 32:5\nDeu 1:42; Jos 7:8, Jos 7:12; Psa 44:1, Psa 44:2-11\nNum 14:25, Num 13:29; Lev 26:17; Deu 28:25\nbecause: Jdg 16:20; Ch1 28:9; Ch2 15:2; Isa 63:10; Hos 9:12\nthey presumed: This miserable people a short time ago, thought that, though Omnipotence was with them, they could not conquer and possess the land! Now they imagine, that though God himself go not with them, yet they shall be sufficient to drive out the inhabitants, and take possession of their country! Man is ever supposing he can do all things, or do nothing. he is therefore sometimes presumptuous, and at other times in despair.
