Psalms 106:32 - Exposition

They angered him also at the waters of strife ; or, "at the waters of Meribah" (Revised Version, Kay, Cheyne); comp. Numbers 20:2 , Numbers 20:10 , Numbers 20:13 . So that it went ill with Moses for their sakes. Moses was not punished for the people's sin, but for his own sin ( Numbers 20:10-12 ), to which theirs led. The expression, "for their sakes," is used loosely (comp. Deuteronomy 1:37 ; Deuteronomy 3:26 ).
