- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 41On the morrow all the congregation - murmured - It is very likely that the people persuaded themselves that Moses and Aaron had used some cunning in this business, and that the earthquake and fire were artificial; else, had they discerned the hand of God in this punishment, could they have dared the anger of the Lord in the very face of justice?Read the comment

They called the rebels the people of the Lord; and find fault with Divine justice.
