Psalms 106:18 - Forerunner Commentary

Psalms 106:18

16 When ^athey envied Moses in the camp,
And Aaron the saint of the Lord,

17 ^aThe earth opened up and swallowed Dathan,
And covered the faction of Abiram.

18 ^aA fire was kindled in their company;
The flame burned up the wicked.

19 ^aThey made a calf in Horeb,
And worshiped the molded image.

20 Thus ^athey changed their glory
Into the image of an ox that eats grass.

21 They forgot God their Savior,
Who had done great things in Egypt,

22 Wondrous works in the land of Ham,
Awesome things by the Red Sea.
