Commentary on Numbers 16:41

Theological / Devotional

On the morrow. An amazing example of the willfulness of the heart of man in ignoring the judgments of God occurred the following day.

Murmured. It would be difficult to find a more outstanding example of rebellion after so impressive a demonstration of divine disapproval as had been witnessed.

Ye have killed. The pronoun “ye” is emphatic in the Hebrew. The people apparently attributed the death of the 250 princes to Moses and Aaron, who had suggested that they offer incense in their censers. They may also have felt that Moses and Aaron should have pleaded with God to forgive the princes, rather than call down judgment upon them.
