3
Let no foreigner who has joined himself to the LORD speak, saying, “The LORD will surely separate me from his people.” Do not let the eunuch say, “Behold, I am a dry tree.”

ExplanationCommentary
Verse 3. People. The Jews would not admit all nations to their communion. Deuteronomy 33:1. A little before Christ’s coming, they began to make more proselytes; (Matthew 23:15) and the sacred books being translated, came to the knowledge of the Gentiles, who were thus induced by degrees to embrace the true faith. The road to heaven was always open for those who kept the commandments, (verse 6. Calmet.) though they might not receive circumcision. Bible.—Christ has removed the wall of separation, (Ephesians 2:14. Calmet.) and established one fold for all. John 10. Bible.
