Numbers 14:22 But yet all the men that have seen my majesty, and the signs that I have done in Egypt, and in the wilderness, and have tempted me now ten times, and have not obeyed my voice,

The men, above 20 years of age, ver. 29. --- Majesty, manifested by the signs, etc. (Haydock) --- Ten times; very often. It is not necessary to specify the number of the rebellions, as some have done, placing the first on the other side of the Red Sea, (Exodus 14:11,) and the tenth here. The expression is often used to express a great but indefinite number. (Ecclesiastes 7:20.) (Calmet)
