Psalm 106:32

They angered him also at the waters of strife, so that it went ill with Moses for their sakes:

They angered him also at the waters of strife,.... Or, "at the waters of Meribah" {z}; that is, Meribahkadesh, as it is called in

Deuteronomy 32:51 to distinguish it from Meribahrephidim, where also were waters of strife or contradiction; at which the people murmured and strove with the Lord, and greatly displeased him, Exodus 17:7.

so that it went ill with Moses for their sakes; he was not suffered to go with them into the good land; though he most earnestly desired it, it could not be granted: but when he was just upon the borders of it, he is bid to go up to the mount, and take a view of it, and die; and all because of what was done at this place; see Numbers 20:12.


{z} hbyrm ym le "super aquas Meribah", Montanus; "apud Memeriba", Tigurine version; "juxta aquas Meriba", Gejerus; so Ainsworth.
