SEV Biblia, Chapter 8:31
¶ Y partimos del río de Ahava el doce del mes primero, para ir a Jerusalén; y la mano de nuestro Dios estaba sobre nosotros, el cual nos libró de mano del enemigo y del acechador en el camino.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 31. Then we departed from the river of Ahava, on the twelfth day of the first month, to go unto Jerusalem , etc.] The month Nisan, answering to part of March and part of April; this was two days before the passover began: and the hand of our God was upon us ; guiding, directing, and protecting them by his providence: and he delivered us from the hand of the enemy, and of such as lay in wait by the way ; either by intimidating them, that they dared not attack them, or by directing them to take a different road, whereby they escaped them, (see Ezra 8:22).
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 31-36 - Enemies laid wait for the Jews, but God protected them. Even the commo perils of journeys, call us to go out with prayer, and to return with praise and thanksgiving. But what shall we render when the Lord has le us safely through the pilgrimage of life, through the gloomy vale of death, out of the reach of all our enemies, into everlasting happiness Among their sacrifices they had a sin-offering. The atonement sweeten and secures every mercy to us, which will not be truly comfortable unless sin be taken away, and our peace made with God. Then had the church rest. The expressions here used, direct us to the deliverance of sinners from spiritual bondage, and their pilgrimage to the heavenl Jerusalem, under the care and protection of their God and Saviour __________________________________________________________________
