The "camp" was not just a physical location but a community of God's chosen people, set apart for His purposes. Historically, the camp was organized around the Tabernacle, symbolizing God's presence among His people. The camp was a place of divine order, where God provided guidance and sustenance. The Hebrew root for "camp" (מַחֲנֶה, machaneh) often signifies a place of gathering and protection, emphasizing the communal aspect of Israel's journey and their reliance on God's provision.<p><b>they envied</b><br />Envy is a destructive emotion that can lead to discord and rebellion. The Hebrew word for "envied" (קָנָא, qanah) implies a deep-seated jealousy and resentment. In the context of this verse, the Israelites' envy was directed towards God's appointed leaders, Moses and Aaron. This envy was not just a personal failing but a spiritual rebellion against God's chosen order. Envy in the camp reflects a lack of trust in God's wisdom and provision, highlighting the human tendency to question divine authority and the roles assigned by God.<p><b>Moses and Aaron</b><br />Moses and Aaron were divinely appointed leaders of the Israelites. Moses, as the prophet and lawgiver, and Aaron, as the high priest, were chosen by God to lead His people out of Egypt and to mediate His covenant. Their leadership was not based on personal ambition but on divine calling. The envy directed towards them was, therefore, an affront to God's sovereign choice. Historically, Moses and Aaron's leadership was marked by humility and obedience to God, serving as a model for spiritual leadership that prioritizes God's will over personal gain.<p><b>the holy one of the LORD</b><br />This phrase refers to Aaron, who was consecrated as the high priest, set apart for the sacred duties of the Tabernacle. The term "holy one" (קָדוֹשׁ, qadosh) signifies being set apart for God's purposes, emphasizing purity and dedication to divine service. Aaron's role as the high priest was to mediate between God and the people, offering sacrifices and maintaining the sanctity of worship. The envy towards Aaron was not just a personal grievance but a challenge to the holiness and order established by God. This highlights the importance of respecting and honoring those whom God has set apart for His service, recognizing their role in maintaining the spiritual health of the community.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/ellicott/psalms/106.htm">Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers</a></div>(16-18) The poet has Numbers 16, 17 in his mind.<p>(16) <span class= "bld">Saint.</span>--The holy one.
