stilled.
Num. 13:30• 30And Caleb stilled the people before Moses, and said, Let us go up at once, and possess it; for we are well able to overcome it. (Num. 13:30)
• Their grief was good —“grief according to God works repentance to salvation, never to be regretted” (2 Cor. 7:10 JND) — but this day was a holy assembly; it was a time to “make a joyful noise unto the God of Jacob” (Psa. 81:1). Similarly, the Lord’s Supper is not a time for introspection but for the remembrance of the Lord, to show forth His death until He comes (1 Cor. 11:23-26). (“The Feast of Trumpets” by N. Simon)
