(h) Of Canaan promised by another to our fathers.


Num 11:15 And if thou deal thus with me, kill me, I pray thee, out of hand, if I have found favour in thy (i) sight; and let me not see my wretchedness.

Num 11:18 And say thou unto the people, (l) Sanctify yourselves against to morrow, and ye shall eat flesh: for ye have wept in the ears of the LORD, saying, Who shall give us flesh to eat? for [it was] well with us in Egypt: therefore the LORD will give you flesh, and ye shall eat.

(l) Prepare yourselves that you may be clean.


Num 11:20 [But] even a whole month, until it come out at your nostrils, and it be loathsome unto you: because that ye have (m) despised the LORD which [is] (n) among you, and have wept before him, saying, Why came we forth out of Egypt?

(n) Who leads and governs you.

(p) From that day the spirit of prophecy did not settle them.

(r) Such blind zeal was in the apostles, Mar 9:38; Luk 9:44.


Num 11:32 And the people stood up all that day, and all [that] night, and all the next day, and they gathered the quails: he that gathered least gathered ten (s) homers: and they spread [them] all abroad for themselves round about the camp.
