Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Psalms 106:13

Soon; even within three days, Exodus 15:22,Exodus 15:23. They waited not for his counsel; they did not wait patiently and believingly upon God for supplies from his hand, in such manner and time as he in his own counsel had appointed and thought fit. read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Psalms 106:15

Either into their persons; or rather, their bodies, which are oft understood by this word; of which see the notes upon Psalms 16:10. So their inordinate desire of pleasing and pampering their bodies was the occasion of destroying them; whilst God denied his blessing, which alone makes food able to nourish us, and inflicted his curse, which made their food as destructive as poison to them. read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Psalms 106:16

So called here, not so much for his inherent holiness, whereof Moses had a greater share, but because he was consecrated or set apart by God for that sacred office of the priesthood, in which respect all the priests are said to be holy, Leviticus 21:6-8. Hereby he intimates that their envy and rebellion was not only against Aaron, but against God himself. read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Psalms 106:19

When they were but very lately brought out of Egypt by such wonderful power and goodness of God, and had seen the dreadful plagues of God upon the Egyptian idolaters, and upon their idols too, as is noted, Numbers 33:4, and when the law of God was but newly delivered to them in such a solemn and tremendous manner, and the most high God was yet present, and delivering further precepts to Moses for their benefit upon the top of that very mount. This greatly aggravated their sin. read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Psalms 106:20

Changed, as far as in them lay, and in respect of their worship. Their glory; their God, who was indeed their glory; for they had this just occasion of triumphing and glorying over all the nations of the world; that whereas all other nations worshipped stocks and stones, or the heavenly bodies, or dead men, they only worshipped the living and true God, who was present and in covenant with them, and with them only. Into the similitude of an ox; into the golden image of an ox or calf. That eateth... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Psalms 106:23

He said; he declared his intention in express words, as Exodus 32:10, and elsewhere. In the breach: God had made a hedge or wall about them; but they had made a gap or breach in it by their sins, at which the Lord, who was now justly become their enemy, might enter to destroy them; which he had certainly done, if Moses by his prevailing intercession had not hindered him. See Deuteronomy 9:12; Deuteronomy 10:10. It is a metaphor from a besieged city, where the enemy endeavours to make a breach... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Psalms 106:24

Despised; preferring Egypt and the former bondage before it, Numbers 14:3,Numbers 14:4, and not thinking it worthy of a little hazard and difficulty in taking the possession of it. The pleasant land, Canaan; which was so not only in truth, Deuteronomy 11:11,Deuteronomy 11:12; Jeremiah 3:19; Ezekiel 20:6, but even by the relation of those spies who discouraged them from entering into it. His word, i.e. his promise of giving them the land, and subduing all their enemies before them; which they... read more
