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
Cross-References
The angel of God said, "Go back to your mistress. Put up with her abuse." He continued, "I'm going to give you a big family, children past counting. From this pregnancy, you'll get a son: Name him Ishmael; for God heard you, God answered you. He'll be a bucking bronco of a man, a real fighter, fighting and being fought, Always stirring up trouble, always at odds with his family."
Recovering, Abraham said to God, "Oh, keep Ishmael alive and well before you!"
"And Ishmael? Yes, I heard your prayer for him. I'll also bless him; I'll make sure he has plenty of children—a huge family. He'll father twelve princes; I'll make him a great nation. But I'll establish my covenant with Isaac whom Sarah will give you about this time next year."
This is the family tree of Ishmael son of Abraham, the son that Hagar the Egyptian, Sarah's maid, bore to Abraham.
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.
