Bible Verse Review
from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge
very wroth: Numbers 12:3, Exodus 32:19, Matthew 5:22, Mark 3:5, Ephesians 4:26
Respect: Numbers 16:6, Numbers 16:7, Genesis 4:4, Genesis 4:5, Isaiah 1:10-15
I have not: Though Moses was their ruler, under God, yet, so far from oppressing them, he had not imposed the smallest tax, nor taken, as a present, so much as an ass from one of them. The common present that is now made to the great, in these countries, is a horse; but there is reason to believe, that an ass might formerly have answered the same purpose. "If it is a visit of ceremony from a bashaw," says Dr. Russell, "or other person in power, a fine horse, sometimes with furniture, or some such valuable present, is made to him at his departure." As asses were esteemed no dishonourable beasts for the saddle, Sir. J. Chardin, in his manuscript, supposes, that when Samuel disclaimed having taken the ass of any one - 1 Samuel 12:3, he is to be understood of not having taken any ass for his riding. In the same light, he considers this similar declaration of Moses. His reason is "asses being then esteemed very honourable creatures for riding on - Numbers 22:21, Numbers 22:30, Judges 5:10, 2 Samuel 16:2,as they are at this very time in Persia, being rode with saddles." 1 Samuel 12:3, 1 Samuel 12:4, Acts 20:33, Acts 20:34, 1 Corinthians 9:15, 2 Corinthians 1:12, 2 Corinthians 7:2, 2 Corinthians 12:14-17, 1 Thessalonians 2:10
Reciprocal: Genesis 31:36 - was wroth Exodus 16:20 - and Moses Numbers 3:51 - Moses 1 Samuel 8:6 - prayed 2 Samuel 22:22 - I have kept 2 Kings 13:19 - was wroth Nehemiah 5:6 - General Nehemiah 5:16 - neither bought Psalms 99:7 - kept Isaiah 1:26 - And I will Isaiah 33:15 - shaketh Micah 3:11 - heads Romans 11:2 - how he maketh 1 Corinthians 13:5 - is not 2 Corinthians 12:18 - in the same steps 1 Thessalonians 2:3 - General

He came to a certain place and stayed the night there, because the sun had set. He took a stone from the place, put it under his head and lay down there to sleep. He dreamt that there before him was a ladder resting on the ground with its top reaching to heaven, and the angels of Adonai were going up and down on it. Then suddenly Adonai was standing there next to him; and he said, "I am Adonai , the God of Avraham your [grand]father and the God of Yitz'chak. The land on which you are lying I will give to you and to your descendants. Your descendants will be as numerous as the grains of dust on the earth. You will expand to the west and to the east, to the north and to the south. By you and your descendants all the families of the earth will be blessed. Look, I am with you. I will guard you wherever you go, and I will bring you back into this land, because I won't leave you until I have done what I have promised you." Ya‘akov awoke from his sleep and said, "Truly, Adonai is in this place — and I didn't know it!" Then he became afraid and said, "This place is fearsome! This has to be the house of God! This is the gate of heaven!" Ya‘akov got up early in the morning, took the stone he had put under his head, set it up as a standing-stone, poured olive oil on its top and named the place Beit-El [house of God]; but the town had originally been called Luz. Ya‘akov took this vow: "If God will be with me and will guard me on this road that I am traveling, giving me bread to eat and clothes to wear, so that I return to my father's house in peace, then Adonai will be my God; and this stone, which I have set up as a standing-stone, will be God's house; and of everything you give me, I will faithfully return one-tenth to you."
Come, let's sell him to the Yishma‘elim, instead of putting him to death with our own hands. After all, he is our brother, our own flesh." His brothers paid attention to him.
The sons of Avraham: Yitz'chak and Yishma‘el.
Gill's Notes on the Bible
And Moses was very wroth,.... Or "it heated Moses exceedingly" p; made him very angry, caused him to burn with wrath against them; even the speech they made, the words they uttered, not so much on account of their ill usage of him, as for the dishonour cast upon the Lord:
and said unto the Lord, respect not thou their offering; their "Minchah", the word is commonly used for the meat or bread offering. Aben Ezra observes, that Dathan and Abiram were great men, and had offered such kind of offerings before this fact; and therefore Moses desires that the Lord would have no respect to any they had offered, but have respect to him, who had never injured any of them. Jarchi gives it as the sense of some, that whereas these men had a part in the daily sacrifices of the congregation (with which a meat offering always went), the request is, that it might not be received with acceptance by the Lord; but he himself thinks it is to be understood of the offering of incense they were to offer on the morrow; and Moses desires that God would show his disapprobation of it, and which is the common interpretation. The Targums of Jonathan and Jerusalem render it, "their gift":
I have not taken one ass from them; either by force, or as a bribe, or by way of gratuity for any service done them; the sense is, that he had not taken from them the least thing in the world, anything of the meanest worth and value, on any consideration. Aben Ezra interprets the word "take", of taking and laying any burden upon an ass of theirs; so far was he from laying any burdens on them, and using them in a cruel and tyrannical manner, as they suggested, that he never laid the least burden on any ass of theirs, and much less on them:
neither have I hurt any of them; never did any injury to the person or property of anyone of them, but, on the contrary, had done them many good offices.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Numbers 16:15. Respect not thou their offering — There was no danger of this: they wished to set up a priesthood and a sacrifical system of their own; and God never has blessed, and never can bless, any scheme of salvation which is not of his own appointment. Man is ever supposing that he can mend his Maker's work, or that he can make one of his own that will do in its place.
