Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Psalms 106:15

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Psalms 106:15

Psalms 106:15. But sent leanness into their soul— But thinned their numbers by death. It is literally, Sent thinness into their life; or, in amidst their life. Several of the ancient versions, with which Houbigant agrees, read, Sent satiety or loathing into their souls. See Psalms 78:30. read more
