8554. THE CONTENTS In the preceding chapter, in the internal sense, the third temptation was treated of-that there was a lack of good. This having been given them, in the internal sense in this chapter the fourth temptation is treated of-that there was a lack of truth. This temptation is signified by "the murmuring of the sons of Israel because they had no water;" and therefore the truth of faith was given them by the Lord, which is signified by "the water out of the rock of Horeb."

The previous chapter dealt in the internal sense with a third temptation - a stage when good was lacking. The present chapter deals in the internal sense with the stage that came after the people had been given that good - a fourth temptation, in which truth was lacking. This temptation is meant by the grumbling of the children of Israel because they had no water; so they were given the truth of faith by the Lord, which is meant by the water from the rock of Horeb.

CONTENTAIn capite praecedente in sensu interno actum est de tertia tentatione, quod deficeret bonum; quo illis dato, agitur in sensu interno in hoc capite de quarta tentatione, quod deficeret verum; haec tentatio significatur per murmurationem filiorum Israelis, quod non haberent aquam; quapropter datum est illis verum fidei a Domino, quod significatur per aquam ex petra Chorebi.
