Gill's Exposition of the Entire Bible

And the men which Moses sent to search the land,.... Ten of them:

who returned; as they all did, who were sent to search it:

and made all the congregation to murmur against him; against, Moses that sent them; they murmured themselves, and made others murmur:

by bringing up a slander upon the land; that it ate up its inhabitants, and that the inhabitants of it were of such a stature, and so gigantic and strong, and dwelt in such walled cities, Numbers 13:28, that there was no probability of subduing them, Numbers 13:31.


Keil and Delitzsch Biblical Commentary on the Old Testament

But for the purpose of giving to the whole congregation a practical proof of the solemnity of the divine threatening of punishment, the spies who had induced the congregation to revolt, through their evil report concerning the inhabitants of Canaan, were smitten by a "stroke before Jehovah," i.e., by a sudden death, which proceeded in a visible manner from Jehovah Himself, whilst Joshua and Caleb remained alive.


Geneva Study Bible

And the men, which Moses sent to search the land, who returned, and made all the congregation to murmur against him, by bringing up a slander upon the land,


Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary

36-38. those men that did bring up the evil report upon the land, died by the plague before the Lord-Ten of the spies struck dead on the spot-either by the pestilence or some other judgment. This great and appalling mortality clearly betokened the hand of the Lord.


Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

14:36-39 Here is the sudden death of the ten evil spies. They sinned in bringing a slander upon the land of promise. Those greatly provoke God, who misrepresent religion, raise dislike in men's minds toward it, or give opportunity to those to do so, who seek occasion. Justly are murmurers made mourners. If they had mourned for the sin, when they were faithfully reproved, the sentence had been prevented; but as they mourned for the judgment only, it did them no service. There is in hell such mourning as this; but tears will not quench the flames, nor cool the tongue.
