1. V. 14. they are those, whom God allureth into the Wilderness, 1and speaketh comfortably unto them: He allureth, and persuadeth them; there is an allusion in the words, to the great original Promise of the conversion of the Gentiles, and the way whereby it shall be done. Gen: 9. 27. God persuades Japheth to dwell in the tents of Shem.
