Commentary on Numbers 20:10

Theological / Devotional

Gathered the congregation. In harmony with God’s instruction (v. 8).

Ye rebels. The very language God had used concerning their fathers (ch. 17:10). But with Moses it reflected personal anger rather than zeal for God, and herein lay his sin.

Must we fetch. The use of the personal pronoun applied by Moses to himself and Aaron indicated a disregard of God, as though these two men would have the people think they could perform a miracle by their own power.
