Hawker's Poor man's commentary

Numbers 12:13

Who doth not, or who will not behold the LORD JESUS here represented, in his glorious character of our intercessor; Reader! behold him in an unequalled moment of the kind on the cross, when he prayed for his murderers, FATHER forgive them for they know not what they do. Luke 23:34.
