Verse 6. Moses and Aaron] As Moses and Aaron among the priests, and as Samuel among the prophets, worshipped God in humility, gratitude, and the spirit of obedience, and received the strongest tokens of the Divine favour; so worship ye the Lord, that he may bless, support, and save you. Moses was properly the priest of the Hebrews before Aaron and his family were appointed to that office.

Verse 7. He spake unto them in the cloudy pillar] That is, he directed all their operations, marchings, and encampments by this cloudy pillar. See Ex 33:9.

They kept his testimonies] Do ye the same, and God will be your portion as he was theirs.

Verse 8. Thou-forgavest them] When the people had sinned, and wrath was about to descend on them, Moses and Aaron interceded for them, and they were not destroyed.

Tookest vengeance of their inventions.] God spared them, but showed his displeasure at their misdoings. He chastised, but did not consume them. This is amply proved in the history of this people.
