Judges - 6:3 Meaning
“And so it was, when Israel had sown, that the Midianites came up, and the Amalekites, and the children of the east, even they came up against them;”
King James Version (KJV)
Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary
6:1-6 Israel's sin was renewed, and Israel's troubles were repeated. Let all that sin expect to suffer. The Israelites hid themselves in dens and caves; such was the effect of a guilty conscience. Sin dispirits men. The invaders left no food for Israel, except what was taken into the caves. They prepared that for Baal with which God should have been served, now God justly sends an enemy to take it away in the season thereof.
“And he that burneth her shall wash his clothes in water, and bathe his flesh in water, and shall be unclean until the even.”
