When a relative died, every one left the house, and the women, with their hair loose, and their bosoms bare, ran wild about the street.

It was necessary that it should be done in this way, that the whole congregation might see that these men who had perished were not "the people of the Lord," and that God, not Moses and Aaron, had destroyed them. and ran.Mt 5:44; Ro 12:21and behold.Ps 106:29and he put.46; De 33:10,11; Isa 53:10-12 What the plague was we know not; but it seems from this to have begun at one part of the camp, and to have proceeded regularly onward. 18,35; 25:8-11; 2Sa 24:16,17,25; 1Ch 21:26,27; 1Th 1:101Ti 2:5,6; Heb 7:24,25; Jas 5:16; Joh 5:14 fourteen thousand.32-35; 25:9; 1Ch 21:14; Heb 2:1-3; 10:28,29; 12:25Psalms 78:50-51
