Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

1 Corinthians 10:5

_ _ But — though they had so many tokens of God’s presence.

_ _ many of them — rather, “the majority of them”; “the whole part.” All except Joshua and Caleb of the first generation.

_ _ not — in the Greek emphatically standing in the beginning of the sentence: “Not,” as one might have naturally expected, “with the more part of them was,” etc.

_ _ God — whose judgment alone is valid.

_ _ for — the event showed, they had not pleased God.

_ _ overthrown — literally, “strewn in heaps.”

_ _ in the wilderness — far from the land of promise.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on 1 Corinthians 10:1-5.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

1 Corinthians 10:5

Yet — Although they had so many tokens of the divine presence. They were overthrown — With the most terrible marks of his displeasure.
