The expression here made use of, when they were come unto the land of promise, carries with it this plain and evident token of mercy, that though in the foregoing chapter the LORD was wrath with his people, yet was he now reconciled. The change was not in GOD but man. The individuals who murmured were to suffer: but the body of Israel were the LORD'S people still. Respecting the gospel state in the present day, as concerning Israel, the apostle beautifully reasons: Romans 11:1-6. Reader! do not fail to connect with this view of GOD'S graciousness, the foundation of the whole chapter of mercy in the covenant of redemption. All is founded in the everlasting love of JEHOVAH, and secured in his faithfulness, Read that sweet assurance of it: Psalms 89:30-37.
