Numbers 14
1 The people murmur at the news.6 Joshua and Caleb labour to still them.11 God threatens them.13 Moses intercedes with God, and obtains pardon.26 The murmurers are debarred from entering into the land.36 The men who raised the evil report die by a plague.40 The people that would invade the land against the will of God are smitten. 11:1-4; De 1:45 murmured.16:41; Ex 15:24; 16:2,3; 17:3; De 1:27; Ps 106:24,45; 1Co 10:10Php 2:14,15; Jude 1:16Would.28,29; 11:15; 1Ki 19:4; Job 3:11; 7:15,16; Jon 4:3,8 the Lord.Ps 78:40; Jer 9:3our wives.31,32 De 17:16; 28:68; Ne 9:16,17; Lu 17:32; Ac 7:39; Heb 10:38,39; 11:152Pe 2:21,22 16:4,22,45; Ge 17:3; Le 9:24; Jos 5:14; 7:10; 1Ki 18:391Ch 21:16; Eze 9:8; Da 10:9; Mt 26:39; Re 4:10; 5:14; 7:11 Joshua.24,30,38; 13:6,8,30rent their clothes.Ge 37:29,34; 44:13; Jos 7:6; Jud 11:35; 2Sa 3:31; 2Ki 18:37Job 1:20; Joe 2:12,13; Mt 26:65 an exceeding good land.13:27; De 1:25; 6:10,11; 8:7-9 delight.De 10:15; 2Sa 15:25,26; 22:20; 1Ki 10:9; Ps 22:8; 147:10,11Isa 62:4; Jer 32:41; Zep 3:17; Ro 8:31a land which.13:27 Only rebel.De 9:7,23,24; Isa 1:2; 63:10; Da 9:5,9; Php 1:27neither.De 7:18; 20:3are bread.24:8; De 32:42; Ps 14:4; 74:14defence. Heb. shadow.{Tzillam,} a metaphor highly expressive of protection and support in the sultry eastern countries. (See the Parallel Passages.) The Arabs and Persians use the same word to express the same thing; using the expressions, "May the shadow {zulli} of thy prosperity be extended." "May the shadow of thy prosperity be spread over the heads of thy well-wishers." And in an elegant distich, "May your protection never be removed from my head; may God extend your shadow {zullikem} eternally." The loftiest and most esteemed title of the sultan, says Thornton, because given him by the kings of Persia, is {zil ullah,} shadow of God.

Therefore he followed God fully; literally, "and he filled after me:" God shewed him the way he was to take and the line of conduct he was to pursue, and he filled up this line, and in all things followed the will of his Maker. followed me.32:11,12; De 6:5; Jos 14:8,9; 1Ch 29:9,18; 2Ch 25:2; Ps 119:80,145Pr 23:26; Ac 11:23; Eph 6:6; Col 3:23 the Amalekites.13:29turn you.4; De 1:40; Ps 81:11-13; Pr 1:31 26 How long.11; Ex 16:28; Mt 17:7; Mr 9:19I have heard.Ex 16:12; 1Co 10:10 As truly.21,23; 26:64,65; 32:11; De 1:35; Ps 90:8,9; Heb 3:17as ye have.2 carcases.32,33; 1Co 10:5; Heb 3:17; Jude 1:5all that were.1:45; 26:64 sware.

Now they imagine, that though God himself go not with them, yet they shall be sufficient to drive out the inhabitants, and take possession of their country! Man is ever supposing he can do all things, or do nothing: he is therefore sometimes presumptuous, and at other times in despair. 15:30; De 1:43the ark.10:33; 1Sa 4:3-11 the Amalekites.43; Ex 17:16; De 1:44; 32:30; Jos 7:5,11,12Hormah.21:3; Jud 1:17
