This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Num_11:18 And say thou unto the people, Sanctify yourselves against to morrow, and ye shall eat flesh: for ye have wept in the ears of the LORD, saying, Who shall give us flesh to eat? for [it was] well with us in Egypt: therefore the LORD will give you flesh, and ye shall eat.
Ver. 18. Sanctify yourselves.] Ironice dictum; or, Sanctify; that is, Prepare yourselves for the day of slaughter, as in Jer_12:3.
For ye have wept in the ears.] Tears, of what sort soever, have a voice in them, {Psa_39:12} as blood hath. {Gen_4:10}
For it was well with us in Egypt.] Such is the murmuring of those malcontents, that say, It was a merry world before there was so much preaching and teaching.
And ye shall eat.] Flesh with a vengeance; which ye shall eat on earth, but digest in hell. {a}
{a} In terris manducant quod apud inferos digerant. - August.
