Behold: Num 26:11; Psa 90:7; Pro 19:3; Isa 57:16; Heb 12:5 we die: Gawanoo, "we expire:" it signifies not so much to die simply, as to feel an extreme difficulty in breathing, which producing suffocation, ends at last in death. See the folly and extravagance of this sinful people, in thus rebelling against the authority of those whom Jehovah had appointed to be their rulers. Numbers 17:13
