Offended. Hebrew and Septuagint, "disgusted." Roman Psalter, St. Augustine, &c., "I was very near to;" (Calmet) ready to punish, and eye-witness of their infidelity. St. Paul reads Greek: prosochthisa, infensus fui, "I was against, or disgusted with," and seems to refer the forty years to the Jews, who saw God's works. (Haydock) --- But there is a variation in the Greek copies, as some omit, For which cause; and Hebrews iii. 10., and v. 17, intimates, that the indignation of God was roused for forty years, at intervals, as often as the people rebelled. (Berthier) --- The apostle also plainly shews, that this psalm was written long after that period, and consequently not by Moses, as the Jews would now assert. He limiteth a certain day, saying in David: To-day, after so long a time, &c., Hebrews iv. 7. (Worthington) --- Always. Hebrew, "a people of those who err in the heart are they." (Montanus) (Haydock)
