105:11. And the water covered them that afflicted them: there was not one of them left. 105:12. And they believed his words: and they sang his praises. 105:13. They had quickly done, they forgot his works: and they waited not for his counsel. 105:14. And they coveted their desire in the desert: and they tempted God in the place without water. 105:15. And he gave them their request: and sent fulness into their souls. 105:16. And they provoked Moses in the camp, Aaron the holy one of the Lord. 105:17. The earth opened and swallowed up Dathan: and covered the congregation of Abiron. 105:18. And a fire was kindled in their congregation: the flame burned the wicked. 105:19. They made also a calf in Horeb: and they adored the graven thing. 105:20. And they changed their glory into the likeness of a calf that eateth grass. 105:21. They forgot God, who saved them, who had done great things in Egypt, 105:22. Wondrous works in the land of Cham: terrible things in the Red Sea. 105:23. And he said that he would destroy them: had not Moses his chosen stood before him in the breach: To turn away his wrath, lest he should destroy them. 105:24. And they set at nought the desirable land. They believed not his word, 105:25. And they murmured in their tents: they hearkened not to the voice of the Lord. 105:26. And he lifted up his hand over them: to overthrow them in the desert; 105:27. And to cast down their seed among the nations, and to scatter them in the countries. 105:28. They also were initiated to Beelphegor: and ate the sacrifices of the dead. Initiated... That is, they dedicated, or consecrated themselves to the idol of the Moabites and Madianites, called Beelphegor, or Baal-Peor. Num. 25.3.-Ibid. The dead... Viz., idols without life. 105:29. And they provoked him with their inventions: and destruction was multiplied among them. 105:30. Then Phinees stood up, and pacified him: and the slaughter ceased. 105:31. And it was reputed to him unto justice, to generation and generation for evermore. 105:32. They provoked him also at the waters of contradiction: and Moses was afflicted for their sakes: 105:33. Because they exasperated his spirit. And he distinguished with his lips. He distinguished with his lips... Moses, by occasion of the people's rebellion and incredulity, was guilty of distinguishing with his lips; when, instead of speaking to the rock, as God had commanded, he said to the people, with a certain hesitation in his faith, Hear ye, rebellious and incredulous: Can we from this rock bring out water for you? Num. 20.10. 105:34. They did not destroy the nations of which the Lord spoke unto them. 105:35. And they were mingled among the heathens, and learned their works: 105:36. And served their idols, and it became a stumblingblock to them. 105:37. And they sacrificed their sons, and their daughters to devils.
