Deuteronomy 2:3

Deu 2:3 Ye have compassed this mountain long enough: turn you northward.

Ver. 3. Turn you northward. ] Thus God’s word was their director unto all places, and in all actions. In which respect these histories of holy Scripture excel all human histories in the world, as is well observed. That which they tell us of their Dea vibilia, guiding passengers, &c., is a mere fiction.
