Moses appoints the three cities of refuge on that side of Jordan 44. Recapitulation (32) For ask now . . . whether there hath been any such thing.-The same argument is afterwards employed by St. Paul (Romans 11:29) for the restoration of Israel: "for the gifts and calling of God are without repentance," i.e., irrevocable.

With this appeal he closes his first address. Verse 32. - For.

The days that are past, etc., i.e. inquire from the earliest time of man's abode on the earth.
