Contextual Overview

¹³ They soon forgot his works. They didn't wait for his counsel, ¹⁴ But gave in to craving in the desert, And tested God in the wasteland. ¹⁵ He gave them their request, But sent leanness into their soul. ¹⁶ They envied Moses also in the camp, And Aaron, Yahweh's saint. ¹⁷ The earth opened and swallowed up Dathan, And covered the company of Abiram. ¹⁸ A fire was kindled in their company. The flame burned up the wicked. ¹⁹ They made a calf in Horeb, And worshiped a molten image. ²⁰ Thus they exchanged their glory For an image of a bull that eats grass. ²¹ They forgot God, their Savior, Who had done great things in Egypt, ²² Wondrous works in the land of Ham, And awesome things by the Red Sea.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

They envied Moses also in the camp,.... That he should be generalissimo there, have the sole command of the people, and be their leader and chief magistrate. Gifts qualifying men for civil government are from the Lord, and these commonly draw the envy of others upon them; who, though they pretend patriotism and the good of their country, yet seek themselves; and would be in the places of those they envy and speak against; which was the case of Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Reuben, who thought themselves as fit, and had a better right, as being the sons of Jacob's firstborn, to command, than Moses.

And Aaron the saint of the Lord; who was not only a holy good man, but was separated from his brethren, sanctified, and put into the priest's office, and this drew upon him the envy of many of the Levites, at the head of whom was Korah, a Levite; these envied that he should be the high priest, and that this office should be restrained to his family; now the envy to each of these is ascribed to the whole body of the people, though discovered only in some, because it was not opposed by them; see Numbers 16:1.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

They envied Moses also in the camp - They were envious of him, or rebelled against him, as assuming too much authority. See Numbers 16:1-2. The reference here is rather to the “result” of that envy in producing rebellion than to the envy itself. It is true, however, that the foundation of their opposition to him “was” envy.

And Aaron the saint of the Lord - That is, as set apart to the service of the Lord; or, as employed in holy things. The reference is to his “office,” not to his personal character.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Psalms 106:16. They envied Moses — A reference to the case of Korah and his company.

Aaron the saint. — The anointed, the high priest of the Lord.
