The Pulpit Commentary 1880 · Public Domain The land, that is, the people of the land,…
The land, that is, the people of the land, as in Gen_41:36 the Egyptians; the verb, accordingly, is in the plural. Were theIsraelites to perish in the wilderness, the Egyptians might say that God had destroyed them, either because he was unable to obtain for them the land he had promised them, or because he had ceased to regard them with favor, and had become their enemy. Neither of these could be, for were they not the people of his inheritance, and had he not showed his power already in delivering them out of Egypt?
Moses in this chapter recalls to the remembrance of Israel this and that place, time, and occasion of their sinning, so should each one often seriously reflect on his past life. This conduces to humility, to watchfulness, and to effort at improvement" (Herxheimer).
