And on the following day he appeared to them as they were quarreling and tried to reconcile them, saying, ‘Men, you are brothers. Why do you wrong each other?’
The people themselves were at fault, not Moses. They could have stopped that man's petulance if they had been grateful to God, but they said nothing and let him bring reproach on their deliverer. We complain of God's slowness to help, but our own wickedness holds back His hand.
AI summary
Israel swelled from seventy souls to six hundred thousand warriors not in haste but in God's time, and mark this: their fastest growth came when Egypt made their lives bitter. Suffering times have often been growing times with the church. Never lose heart at slowness; when the year of redemption draws near, God can do a double work in a single day.
