Psalms 106:24-39

For the same reason as before, I include the whole of what is here rehearsed in one reading. But let not the Reader be as brief upon the interesting things here recorded. Let him consult the several parts of the Jewish history in the Bible, to which they refer. See Numbers 13:1; Numbers 14:1. And let him recollect that despising Christ and his salvation in the present day, becomes a parallel history, only with ten thousand more aggravated circumstances of guilt and ingratitude, than what here marked Israel's conduct, in their despising the promised land. The mingling with the idolatrous nations, which marked Israel's behaviour; we find in their history, Numbers 25:1; and the lively zeal of Phinehas, recorded in Numbers 25:7, cannot fail to remind the Reader of Him, concerning whom it is said, that his zeal consumed him. Psalms 119:139; John 2:17.
