| Numbers 11:33 | *As yet the flesh was between their teeth, neither had that kind of meat failed: when behold, the wrath of the Lord being provoked against the people, struck them with an exceeding great plague. Psalm 77:30. | Plague of fire, ver. 3, Psalm 77:21. (Cornelius a Lapide) --- Failed, after the month was expired. (Menochius) --- They had been accustomed to live upon manna, which was a light food, during the space of a year; and now eating greedily of this flesh, their stomachs were overcharged, and they died of an indigestion. (Calmet) --- The Rabbins say, God punished their gluttony by death, and obliged the rest of the Hebrews to abstain from all flesh, except from that of the peace-offerings, till they entered the promised land. (Selden, Syn. 2, 4.) |
