Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

See commentary on Numbers 17:12-13.


Numbers 17:13

_ _ cometh any thing near — that is, nearer than he ought to do; an error into which many may fall. Will the stern justice of God overtake every slight offense? We shall all be destroyed. Some, however, regard this exclamation as the symptom or a new discontent, rather than the indication of a reverential and submissive spirit. Let us fear and sin not.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Numbers 17:8-13.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Numbers 17:13

Near — Nearer than be should do; an error which we may easily commit. Will God proceed with us according to his strict justice, till all the people be cut off?
