1 וַיְהִי הָעָם כְּמִתְאֹנְנִים רַע בְּאָזְנֵי יְהוָה וַיִּשְׁמַע יְהוָה וַיִּחַר אַפֹּו וַתִּבְעַר־בָּם אֵשׁ יְהוָה וַתֹּאכַל בִּקְצֵה הַמַּחֲנֶה׃


Commentary on this verse  

By Henry MacLagan

Verse 1. And now the man of the Spiritual Church enters into temptation, because evils are predominant, and opposed to the Divine Providence, wherefore the influx of the Divine Life causes aversion on the part of man, evil passions are excited, and the natural man is overcome by lusts.
