Summary Of Commentaries Associated With The Selected Verse
A Commentary, Critical, Practical, and Explanatory on the Old and New Testaments, by Robert Jamieson, A.R. Fausset and David Brown [1882] |
Also the Lord was angry with me for your sakes--This statement seems to indicate that it was on this occasion Moses was condemned to share the fate of the people. But we know that it was several years afterwards that Moses betrayed an unhappy spirit of distrust at the waters of strife (Psa 106:32-33). This verse must be considered therefore as a parenthesis. |
Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834] |
The sentence on Moses was not passed when the people rebelled during their first encampment at Kadesh, but some 37 years later, when they had re-assembled in the same neighborhood at Meribah (see the Num 20:13 note). He alludes to it here as having happened not many months previously, bearing on the facts which were for his purpose in pricking the conscience of the people. |
Explanatory Notes on the Whole Bible, by John Wesley [1754-65] |
For your sakes - Upon occasion of your wickedness and perverseness, by which you provoked me to speak unadvisedly. |
Adam Clarke Commentary on the Whole Bible - Published 1810-1826 |
The Lord was angry with me - See on Num 20:12 (note), etc., where a particular account is given of the sin of Moses. |
32 They angered him also at the waters of strife, so that it went ill with Moses for their sakes:
33 Because they provoked his spirit, so that he spake unadvisedly with his lips.
13 This is the water of Meribah; because the children of Israel strove with the LORD, and he was sanctified in them.
12 And the LORD spake unto Moses and Aaron, Because ye believed me not, to sanctify me in the eyes of the children of Israel, therefore ye shall not bring this congregation into the land which I have given them.
