Psalms 106:27
To overthrow—literally, "To make them fall"; alluding to the words (Numbers 14:39).
among . . . nations . . . lands—The "wilderness" was not more destructive to the fathers (Psalms 106:26) than residence among the heathen ("nations") shall be to the children. Leviticus 26:33, Leviticus 26:38 is here, before the Psalmist's mind, the determination against the "seed" when rebellious, being not expressed in Numbers 14:31-33, but implied in the determination against the fathers.
Psalms 106:24-27
The sin of refusing to invade Canaan, "the pleasant land" (Jeremiah 3:19; Ezekiel 20:6; Daniel 8:9), "the land of beauty," was punished by the destruction of that generation (Numbers 14:28), and the threat of dispersion (Deuteronomy 4:25; Deuteronomy 28:32) afterwards made to their posterity, and fulfilled in the great calamities now bewailed, may have also been then added.
despised— (Numbers 14:31).
believed not his word—by which He promised He would give them the land; but rather the word of the faithless spies (compare Psalms 78:22).
