Números 11:2 Meaning and Commentary

Numbers 11:2

And the people cried unto Moses
And entreated him to pray for them, being frightened at the fire which consumed many of them, lest it should spread and become general among them:

and when Moses prayed unto the Lord;
as he did, in which he was a type of Christ, the mediator between God and man, the advocate of his people, an intercessor for transgressors:

the fire was quenched;
it stopped and proceeded no further; as through Christ's mediation God is pacified with his people for all that they have done, and his wrath, and all the effects of it, are turned away from them, and entirely cease with respect to them; or it "sunk down"

FOOTNOTES:

F18 into its place, as the Targum of Jonathan, as if it rose out of the earth. This may serve to confirm the notion of its being a burning wind, to which the idea of sinking down and subsiding well agrees.

F18 (eqvt) "sunk down", so Ainsworth; "compressus est", Junius & Tremellius, Piscator, Drusius; "resedit", Tigurine version.

Números 11:2 In-Context

1 Aconteceu que o povo começou a queixar-se das suas dificuldades aos ouvidos do SENHOR. Quando ele os ouviu, a sua ira acendeu-se, e fogo da parte do SENHOR queimou entre eles e consumiu algumas extremidades do acampamento.

2 Então o povo clamou a Moisés, este orou ao SENHOR, e o fogo extinguiu-se.

3 Por isso aquele lugar foi chamado Taberá, porque o fogo da parte do SENHOR queimou entre eles.

4 Um bando de estrangeiros que havia no meio deles encheu-se de gula, e até os próprios israelitas tornaram a queixar-se e diziam: “Ah, se tivéssemos carne para comer!

5 Nós nos lembramos dos peixes que comíamos de graça no Egito, e também dos pepinos, das melancias, dos alhos-porós, das cebolas e dos alhos.
