Numbers - 14:12 Meaning
“I will smite them with the pestilence, and disinherit them, and will make of thee a greater nation and mightier than they.”
King James Version (KJV)
Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary
14:11-19 Moses made humble intercession for Israel. Herein he was a type of Christ, who prayed for those that despitefully used him. The pardon of a nation's sin, is the turning away the nation's punishment; and for that Moses is here so earnest. Moses argued that, consistently with God's character, in his abundant mercies, he could forgive them.
“Then Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not willing to make her a publick example, was minded to put her away privily.”
