Commentaries:
Jamieson, Fausset, and Brown
Is it true—rather, as the Margin [THEODOTION], "Is it purposely that?" etc. Compare the Hebrew, Numbers 35:20, Numbers 35:22. Notwithstanding his "fury," his past favor for them disposes him to give them the opportunity of excusing themselves on the ground that their disobedience had not been intentional; so he gives them another trial to see whether they would still worship the image.
