On this verse

Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

We perish - Words of consternation, arising from the remembrance of these severe and repeated judgments, from the threatening of death upon any succeeding murmurings, and from the sense of their own guilt and weakness, which made them fear lest they should relapse into the same miscarriages, and thereby bring the vengeance of God upon themselves.

They strive with God for the dominion; and the question is whose will shall stand. God will rule, but Israel will not be ruled; and this is the quarrel. It is an instance of the grace of God that, having wrought divers miracles to punish sin, he would work one more on purpose to prevent it.
