A. He is said to goe vp out of Egypt, be∣cause this country lyeth lower then Canaan. So in the precedent chapter, vers. 10. Hee is said to goe downe to Egypt. Now Abraham going to Canaan from Egypt▪ is said to goe vnto the South, not as though Canaan did lye Southward from Egypt, for it is North∣ward.
But by the South here Moses vnder∣standeth the Southerne parts of Canaan. As Canaan was a type of heauen, so is Egypt of the kingdome of Satan. Abraham came out of Egypt to Canaan, so must we from the po∣wer of Satan to the kingdome of grace; he went vp from Egypt, so wee must ascend by faith, and seeke those things that are aboue, he went vnto the South, as to the sunne, so we must follow the sonne of righteousnesse, and walke in the light while it is day, hee tooke his wife and Lot with him, so we must helpe forward our friends in this spirituall iourney, he was very rich when he went vp, so we must be rich in faith, Iam. 2. 5.
