Commentaries:
Adam Clarke
They provoked his spirit - himru , from marah , to rebel: they brought it into a rebellious state; he was soured and irritated, and was off his guard.
So that he spake unadvisedly with his lips - For this sentence we have only these two words in the Hebrew, vayebatte bisephathaiv , he stuttered or stammered with his lips, indicating that he was transported with anger. See the notes on Numbers 20:10-12 (note).
