Notes, Explanatory and Practical, on the Old and New Testaments (1832-1869)

Already Caleb had endeavored to still the people before Moses Num 13:30; already Moses himself (Deu 1:29 ff) had endeavored to recall the people to obedience. After the failure of these efforts Moses and Aaron cast themselves down in solemn prayer before God (compare Num 16:22); and the appearance of the glory of the Lord in the “tabernacle of the congregation” Num 14:10 was the immediate answer.
