Numeri 14:5 Meaning and Commentary

Numbers 14:5

Then Moses and Aaron fell on their faces
Through shame and confusion of face for them, at hearing so shocking a proposal made, and such wretched ingratitude expressed; they blushed at it, and were in the utmost distress on account of it, and therefore threw themselves into this posture; or it may be this was done either to beg of them that they would lay aside all thoughts of this kind, or to supplicate the divine Majesty that he would convince them of their sin and folly, and give them repentance for it and forgiveness of it; and this they did

before all the assembly of the congregation of the children of Israel;
to affect them the more with a sense of their sin and danger.

Numeri 14:5 In-Context

3 Warum führt uns der HERR in dies Land, daß wir durchs Schwert fallen und unsere Weiber und unsere Kinder ein Raub werden? Ist's nicht besser, wir ziehen wieder nach Ägypten?
4 Und einer sprach zu dem andern: Laßt uns einen Hauptmann aufwerfen und wieder nach Ägypten ziehen!
5 Mose aber und Aaron fielen auf ihr Angesicht vor der ganzen Versammlung der Gemeinde der Kinder Israel.
6 Und Josua, der Sohn Nuns, und Kaleb, der Sohn Jephunnes, die auch das Land erkundet hatten, zerrissen ihre Kleider
7 und sprachen zu der ganzen Gemeinde der Kinder Israel: Das Land, das wir durchwandelt haben, es zu erkunden, ist sehr gut. {~} {~}
