Contextual Overview

13 But within a very short whyle they forgat his workes: they woulde not wayte for his counsell. 14 And they were taken with a great lust in the wyldernesse: and they tempted God in the desert. 15 And he gaue them their desire: and sent leannes withal into their soule. 16 They enuied also at Moyses in the tentes: [and] at Aaron the saint of God. 17 So the earth opened and swalowed vp Dathan: and couered the company of Abiram. 18 And the fire was kindled in their company: the flambe brent vp the vngodly. 19 They made a calfe in Horeb: and worshipped the moulten image. 20 Thus they turned their glory: into the similitude of a calfe that eateth hay. 21 They forgat God their sauiour, who had done so great thynges in Egypt: 22 wonderous workes in ye land of Cham, [and] terrible thinges at the red sea.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Thus they provoked him to anger with their inventions,.... Sin is an invention of man's: when our first parents sinned, they found out many inventions; and their posterity ever since have been inventors of evil things; and man's invention is very quick at that work. All false doctrine and false worship are of men's finding out; all idolatrous practices are their inventions, and which are here intended; see Psalms 106:39. And these are very provoking to God, who is jealous of his glory, and which is taken from him hereby; and even when he forgives such sins of men, he takes vengeance on their inventions, as in this case, Psalms 99:8. For it follows:

and the plague brake in upon them: like an inundation of water, and carried off four and twenty thousand persons, Numbers 25:9.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Thus they provoked him to anger with their inventions - The word rendered “inventions” means properly “works; deeds;” then it is used in the sense of “evil” deeds, crimes.

And the plague brake in upon them - See Numbers 25:8-9. No less than twenty-four thousand fell in the plague. Numbers 25:9.
