Look . . . and be ye saved--The second imperative expresses the result which will follow obedience to the first (Genesis 42:18); ye shall be saved (John 3:14-15). Numbers 21:9 : "If a serpent had bitten any man, when he beheld the serpent of brass he lived." What so simple as a look? Not do something, but look to the Saviour (Acts 16:30-31). Believers look by faith, the eye of the soul. The look is that of one turning (see Margin) to God, as at once "Just and the Saviour" (Isaiah 45:21), that is, the look of conversion (Psalms 22:27).
