Poor Memories

Friday. Num. II :4-13.

Appetite, uncontrolled, makes a man lose his good sense. These people had better noses than memories. They could smell the leeks and onions and melons, but they forgot God! Their stomachs were dominant. They preferred using their teeth to using their thinking powers. The truck gardens of Egypt are recalled, but not the taskmasters, the bricks without straw, nor the wondrous gateway out of Egypt. They seem to be kin to some of us.
