Numbers 14:9 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

They are bread for us; we shall destroy them as easily as we do our bread or common food. Compare Numbers 24:8 Psalms 14:4. Their defence, i.e. their counsel, conduct, and courage, and especially God, who was pleased to afford them his protection till their iniquities were full, Genesis 15:16, is utterly departed from them, and hath given them up as a prey to us. The Lord is with us, by his special grace and almighty power, to save us from them; and from all our enemies.

Numbers 14:9

9 Only rebel not ye against the LORD, neither fear ye the people of the land; for they are bread for us: their defencea is departed from them, and the LORD is with us: fear them not.
