Torrey, [ca. 1880]\nOverview\nDeu 1:1, Moses' speech in the end of the fortieth year; Deu 1:6, briefly rehearsing the history of God's sending them from Horeb; Deu 1:14, of giving them officers; Deu 1:19, of sending the spies to search the land; Deu 1:34, of his anger for their incredulity; Deu 1:41, and disobedience.\non this: Num 32:5, Num 32:19, Num 32:32, Num 34:15, Num 35:14; Jos 9:1, Jos 9:10, Jos 22:4, Jos 22:7\nRed Sea: or, Zuph, Or rather, Suph, This could not have been the Red Sea, not only because the word yam, \"sea,\" is not joined with it as usual, but because they were now east of Jordan, and farther from the Red Sea than ever. It seems to be the same which is called Suphah in Num 21:14; which must necessarily signify some place in or adjoining to the plains of Moab, and not far from the Jordan and Arnon. Ptolemy mentions a people called Sophonites that dwelt in Arabia Petrea, who may have taken their name from this place.\nParan: Paran, Tophel, Laban, Hazeroth, and Dizahab, seem to have been either places or cities not far from the plains of Moab; for it is evident that Paran and Hazeroth could not have been those near the Red sea, and not far from Horeb.

Many suppose the expression to be hyperbolical; and others, no friends to revelation, think it a vain, empty boast, because the stars, in their apprehension, amount to innumerable millions. But, as this refers to the number of stars that appear to the naked eye, which only amount to about 3,010 in both hemispheres, the number of the Israelites far exceeded this; for independently of women and children, at the last census, they amounted to more than 600,000.\nmake you: Sa2 24:3; Ch1 21:3; Psa 115:14\nand bless you: Gen 15:5, Gen 22:17, Gen 26:4, Gen 49:25; Exo 32:13; Num 6:27, Num 22:12\nDeu 1:9; Exo 18:13-16; Num 11:11-15; Kg1 3:7-9; Psa 89:19; Co2 2:16, Co2 3:5\nTake: Heb.

Harmer says, high walls are still to be seen in Arabia, and are deemed a sufficient defence against the Arabs, who scarcely ever attempt to plunder except on horseback. The monastery on Mount Sinai, and the convent of St. Anthony in Egypt, are surrounded with a very high wall, without gates; the persons and things being taken up and let down through an opening in the upper part, by means of a pulley and a basket. This kind of walling is a sufficient defence.\nwe have seen: Deu 9:2; Jos 11:22, Jos 15:14; Jdg 1:10, Jdg 1:20; Sa2 21:16-22\nhe shall: Deu 20:1-4; Exo 14:14, Exo 14:25; Jos 10:42; Sa1 17:45, Sa1 17:46; Ch2 14:11, Ch2 14:12, Ch2 32:8; Neh 4:20; Psa 46:11; Isa 8:9, Isa 8:10; Rom 8:31, Rom 8:37\naccording: Exod. 7:1-25, 15:1-27; Psa 78:11-13, Psa 78:43-51, Psa 105:27-36\nin the wilderness: Exod. 16:1-17:16; Neh 9:12-23; Psa 78:14-28, Psa 105:39-41\nbare thee: Deu 32:11, Deu 32:12; Exo 19:4; Num 11:11, Num 11:12, Num 11:14; Isa 40:11, Isa 46:3, Isa 46:4, Isa 63:9; Hos 11:3, Hos 11:4; Act 13:18 *marg.\nCh2 20:20; Psa 78:22, Psa 106:24; Isa 7:9; Heb 3:12, Heb 3:18, Heb 3:19; Jde 1:5\nWho went: Exo 13:21; Num 10:33; Psa 77:20; Eze 20:6\nin fire: Exo 13:21, Exo 13:22, Exo 14:19, Exo 14:20, Exo 14:24, Exo 40:34-38; Num 9:15-22, Num 10:11, Num 10:12, Num 14:14; Neh 9:12; Psa 78:14, Psa 105:39; Isa 4:5, Isa 4:6; Zac 2:5\nand sware: Deu 2:14, Deu 2:15; Num 14:22-30, Num 32:8-13; Psa 95:11; Eze 20:15; Heb 3:8-11\nCaleb: Num 13:6, Num 13:30, Num 26:65, Num 32:12, Num 34:19; Jos 14:6-14; Jdg 1:12-15\nwholly followed: Heb. fulfilled to go after, Num 14:24\nDeu 3:23-26, Deu 4:21, Deu 34:4; Num 20:12, Num 27:13, Num 27:14; Psa 106:32, Psa 106:33\nJoshua: Num 13:8, Num 13:16, Num 14:30, Num 14:38, Num 26:65\nwhich standeth: Exo 17:9-14, Exo 24:13, Exo 33:11; Sa1 16:22; Pro 22:29\nencourage him: Deu 3:28, Deu 31:7, Deu 31:8, Deu 31:14, Deu 31:23; Num 27:18-23; Jos 1:1, Jos 1:6-9\nyour little: Num 14:3, Num 14:31\nwhich in: Isa 7:15, Isa 7:16; Jon 4:11; Rom 9:11; Eph 2:3\nWe have sinned: Num 14:39, Num 14:40-45, Num 22:34; Pro 19:3\nGo not up: Num 14:41, Num 14:42\nfor I am not: Lev 26:17; Jos 7:8-13; Sa1 4:2, Sa1 4:10; Isa 30:17, Isa 59:1, Isa 59:2; Hos 9:12\nbut rebelled: Isa 63:10; Act 7:51; Rom 8:7, Rom 8:8\nwent presumptuously up: Heb. ye were presumptuous and went up, Num 14:44\nchased you: When bees are provoked or disturbed, the whole swarm attack and pursue whatever annoys them, with great courage and fury, and sometimes are a most formidable enemy. They were so troublesome in some districts of Crete, that, according to Pliny, the inhabitants were actually compelled to forsake their homes. Alian reports, that some places in Scythia were formerly inaccessible on account of the numerous swarms of bees with which they were infested. Mr. Park relates, that some of his associates imprudently attempted to rob a numerous hive which they found in their way. The exasperated little animals rushed out to defend their property, and attacked them with so much fury, that they quickly compelled the whole company of men, horses, and asses, to scamper off in all directions. The horses were never recovered, and a number of the asses were so severely stung, that they died the next day.
