Numbers - 14:17 Meaning
“And now, I beseech thee, let the power of my Lord be great, according as thou hast spoken, saying,”
King James Version (KJV)
Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary
14:11-19 Moses made humble intercession for Israel. Herein he was a type of Christ, who prayed for those that despitefully used him. The pardon of a nation's sin, is the turning away the nation's punishment; and for that Moses is here so earnest. Moses argued that, consistently with God's character, in his abundant mercies, he could forgive them.
“They say unto the blind man again, What sayest thou of him, that he hath opened thine eyes? He said, He is a prophet.”
