Numbers Chapter 11 서론 Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Numbers 11 Introduction

Translated Open passage

This and the following three chapters recount the successive rebellions of the Israelites after their departure from Sinai; culminating in that by which they brought upon themselves the sentence of personal exclusion from the land of promise.

Numbers Chapter 11 1 Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Numbers 11:1

Translated Open passage

See the marginal rendering. They murmured against the privations of the march.

The fire of the Lord - Probably lightning; compare Psalm 78:21.

In the uttermost parts - Rather, in the end. The fire did not reach far into the camp. It was quickly quenched at the intercession of Moses.

Numbers Chapter 11 3 Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Numbers 11:3

Translated Open passage

Taberah - i. e. "burning:" not the name of a station, and accordingly not found in the list given in Numbers 33, but the name of the spot where the fire broke out. This incident might seem (compare Numbers 11:34) to have occurred at the station called, from another still more terrible event which shortly followed, Kibroth-hattaavah.

Numbers Chapter 11 4 Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Numbers 11:4

Translated Open passage

Occurrences at Kibroth-hattavah.

Numbers 11:4

The mixt multitude - The word in the original resembles our "riff-raff," and denotes a mob of people scraped together. It refers here to the multitude of strangers (see Exodus 12:38) who had followed the Israelites from Egypt.

Numbers 11:5

Translated Open passage

The natural dainties of Egypt are set forth in this passage with the fullness and relish which bespeak personal experience.

Numbers Chapter 11 6 Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Numbers 11:6

Translated Open passage

There is nothing at all ... - literally, "Nought at all have we except that our eyes are unto this manna;" i. e. "Nought else have we to expect beside this manna." On the manna see Exodus 16:15 note; on bdellium see Genesis 2:12 note.

Numbers Chapter 11 10 Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Numbers 11:10

Translated Open passage

The weeping was general; every family wept (compare Zechariah 12:12), and in a manner public and unconcealed.

Numbers Chapter 11 11 Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Numbers 11:11

Translated Open passage

The complaint and remonstrance of Moses may be compared with that in 1 Kings 19:4 ff; Jonah 4:1-3, and contrasted with the language of Abraham (Genesis 18:23 ff) The meekness of Moses (compare Numbers 12:3) sank under vexation into despair. His language shows us how imperfect and prone to degeneracy are the best saints on earth.
