Commentary on Numbers 20:3
Theological / DevotionalThe people chode. The word “chode” often means “to oppose noisily,” sometimes even with bodily violence.
Our brethren died. The allusion is to the various retributive acts of God as in chs. 11:1, 33; 14:37, particularly to the rebellion of Korah (ch. 16:32, 35, 46). They were apparently thinking of sudden death as preferable to the slow and intensifying torture of thirst.
