Commentary on Numbers 14:11

Theological / Devotional

Ere they believe me. Throughout their history the Jews have laid great stress on their descent from Abraham, yet they consistently failed in the very thing for which he was honored of God (Gen. 15:6; Gal. 3:7, 9). This lack of faith is what kept them from entering into God’s rest (Heb. 3:19 ; 4:11).

All the signs. Despite lack of faith in much of the modern world, “signs” in their highest form are a kind of evidence intended to confirm the words of God (see Ex. 4:3 ff; John 12:37).
