Commentary

Commentary on Numbers 16:15

Theological / Devotional

Very wroth. Or, “exceedingly sad” (LXX). The meekness of Moses could not endure their insolence (see on ch. 12:3).

Respect not. The reference is to the incense the men were about to offer (see Gen. 4:4, 5).

One ass. Compare Samuel’s protest (1 Sam. 12:3).

Neither have I hurt. Moses had not practice any kind of oppression whatever; to the contrary, he had not spared himself in doing good.
