There were two Sins provoked the Lord to inflict this Punishment.
1. Their Murmuring, ver 5. The People spake against God and against Moses, Wherefore have ye brought us up out of Egypt to die in the Wilderness? for there is no bread, neither is there any water, Speaking against God and his Prophets go together. They spake against God and against Moses. The Chaldee reads it, They murmured before the Lord. Murmuring is a speaking against God; and it proceeds from distrust, Psal. 106. 24. They believed not his Word, but murmured. So in the Text, There is no bread, or water; they thought they should die in the Wilderness, and then they spake against God. Murmuring is the daughter of Unbelief. And observe the Time when they murmured; it was immediately ⟨p. 119⟩after an eminent and glorious deliverance, ver. 3. The Lord harkned to Israel, and delivered up the Canaanites, and they utterly destroyed them and their Cities. And behold the requital they make God for this signal mercy! They murmur against him. What? to find fault with God! and just after a Deliverance? the Lord being highly provoked, sent Fiery Serpents among them, and much people of Israel dyed, ver. 6.*
