Numbers 11:32
_ _ people stood up — rose up in eager haste — some at one time, others at another; some, perhaps through avidity, both day and night.
_ _ ten homers — ten asses’ loads; or, “homers” may be used indefinitely (as in Exodus 8:14; Judges 15:16); and “ten” for many: so that the phrase “ten homers” is equivalent to “great heaps.” The collectors were probably one or two from each family; and, being distrustful of God’s goodness, they gathered not for immediate consumption only, but for future use. In eastern and southern seas, innumerable quails are often seen, which, when weary, fall down, covering every spot on the deck and rigging of vessels; and in Egypt they come in such myriads that the people knock them down with sticks.
_ _ spread them all abroad for themselves round about the camp — salted and dried them for future use, by the simple process to which they had been accustomed in Egypt. |
Numbers 11:32
Stood up — Or rather rose up, which word is often used for beginning to do any business. All that night — Some at one time, and some at the other, and some, through greediness or diffidence, at both times. Ten homers — That is, ten ass loads: which if it seem incredible, you must consider, That the gatherers here were not all the people, which could not be without great inconveniences, but some on the behalf of all, while the rest were exercised about other necessary things. So the meaning is not, that every Israelite had so much for his share, but that every collector gathered so much for the family, or others by whom he was intrusted. That the people did not gather for their present use only, but for a good while to come, and being greedy and distrustful of God's goodness, it is not strange if they gathered much more than they needed. That the word, rendered homers, may signify heaps, as it doth, Exodus 8:14; Judges 15:16; Habakkuk 3:15, and ten, is often put for many, and so the sense is, that every one gathered several heaps. If yet the number seems incredible, it must be farther known, That Heathen and other authors affirm, in those eastern and southern countries quails are innumerable, so that in one part of Italy, within the compass of five miles, there were taken about an hundred thousand of them every day for a month together. And Atheneus relates, that in Egypt, a country prodigiously populous, they were in such plenty, that all those vast numbers of people could not consume them, but were forced to salt and keep them for future use. They spread them — That so they might dry, salt and preserve them for future use, according to what they had seen in Egypt. |
Numbers 11:32
And the people stood up all that day, and all [that] night, and all the next day, and they gathered the quails: he that gathered least gathered ten (s) homers: and they spread [them] all abroad for themselves round about the camp.
(s) Of Homer, read (Leviticus 27:16) also it signifies a heap, as in (Exodus 8:14; Judges 15:16). |
- homers:
Exodus 16:36 Now an omer [is] the tenth [part] of an ephah.
Ezekiel 45:11 The ephah and the bath shall be of one measure, that the bath may contain the tenth part of an homer, and the ephah the tenth part of an homer: the measure thereof shall be after the homer.
