Then he remembered the days of old, Moses, and his people, saying, Where is he that brought them up out of the sea with the shepherd of his flock? where is he that put his holy Spirit within him?
Then he remembered the days of old, Moses (and) his people - Notwithstanding their perversity, He forgot not His covenant of old; therefore He did not wholly forsake them (Leviticus 26:40-42; Leviticus 26:44-45; Psalms 106:45-46): the Jews make this their plea with God, that He should not now forsake them.
(Saying). God is represented, in human language, mentally speaking of Himself and His former acts of love to Israel, as His ground for pitying them notwithstanding their rebellion.
Where (is) he that brought them up out of the sea - Red Sea.
With the shepherd of his flock? - Moses. х Ro`eeh (H7462)]; or, if the Hebrew be read plural, shepherds х ro`eey (H7462), as the Vulgate] - Moses, Aaron, and the other leaders (so Psalms 77:20). The Septuagint, Chaldaic, Syriac, and Arabic read singular.
Where (is) he that put his Holy Spirit within him? - Hebrew, the Spirit of His holiness in the inward parts of him ( bªqirbow (H7130)); i:e., Moses: or, it refers to the flock, 'in the midst of his people' (Numbers 11:17; Numbers 11:25; Nehemiah 9:20; Haggai 2:5).
