Verse 1
first month
i.e. April.
Verse 5
water
(See Scofield " :-") .
Verse 8
speak ye unto the rock before their eyes
See Exodus 17:5. (See Scofield "Exodus 17:5- :") .
The rock (Christ) 1 Corinthians 10:4 once smitten, needs not to be smitten (crucified) again. Moses' act exalted himself Numbers 20:10 and implied (in type) that the one sacrifice was ineffectual, thus denying the eternal efficacy of the blood ; Hebrews 9:25; Hebrews 9:26; Hebrews 10:3; Hebrews 10:11; Hebrews 10:12. The abundant water (grace reaching the need of the people, despite the error of their leader) tells of refreshing and power through the Spirit.
Verse 16
angel
(See Scofield " :-") .
Verse 28
died
The death of Aaron marks the end of the wanderings. Henceforth Israel marches or halts, but does not wander.
(See Scofield " :-") .
