Numbers 16:11
Read Numbers 16:11 Using Other Translations
What does Numbers 16:11 mean?
For which cause, both [thou] and all thy company
[are]
gathered together against the Lord
For gathering together against his ministers, whom he had put
into office to act under him, and endeavouring to overturn a
constitution of his erecting, and resisting and not submitting to
an ordinance of his, is interpreted gathering against him, and
acting in opposition to him; see ( Romans 13:1 Romans 13:2 ) ;
and what [is] Aaron, that ye murmur against
him?
what is his transgression? what has he done? as Aben Ezra
paraphrases it; he is not chargeable with any fault, he did not
take upon him the office of high priest of himself, God called
him to it, and put him in it; he is only his minister, and by no
means to be blamed, and therefore it is unreasonable to envy him,
or murmur against him; and, indeed, murmuring against him is
murmuring against the Lord.
