Contextual Overview

13But they quickly forgot His works; They did not [patiently] wait for His counsel and purpose [to be revealed regarding them], 14But lusted intensely in the wilderness And tempted God [with their insistent desires] in the desert. 15So He gave them their request, But sent a wasting disease among them. 16They envied Moses in the camp, And Aaron [the high priest], the holy one of the LORD, 17Therefore the earth opened and swallowed Dathan, And engulfed the company of Abiram. 18And a fire broke out in their company; The flame consumed the wicked. 19They made a calf in Horeb (Sinai) And worshiped a cast image. 20Thus they exchanged [the true God who was] their glory For the image of an ox that eats grass. 21They forgot God their Savior, Who had done such great things in Egypt, 22Wonders in the land of Ham, Awesome things at the Red Sea.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Therefore he lifted up his hand against them,.... A gesture used in swearing, Genesis 14:22. So the Targum understands it here,

"and he lifted up his hand with an oath, because of them:''

and so it is interpreted by Aben Ezra, Jarchi, Kimchi, and Ben Melech; and agrees with Numbers 14:28. The same gesture was used by the Heathens in swearing, as by Latinus s. Or he lifted up his hand, in a way of judgment, to strike the blow; and which, when it lights on man with the indignation of his anger, falls heavy; see Isaiah 26:11. To overthrow them in the wilderness; as he did all the murmuring generation that came out of Egypt, all but Caleb and Joshua; all from twenty years and upwards, their carcasses fell in the wilderness; there they were wasted, consumed, and died, Numbers 14:32.

s "----Tenditque ad sidera dextram--Terram, mare, sidera juro", Virg. Aeneid. 12.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Therefore he lifted up his hand against them - Numbers 14:27-33. He resolved to cut them off, so that none of them should reach the promised land.

To overthrow them in the wilderness - literally, to cause them to “fall.”
