The term "brood of sinners" indicates a generational continuation of disobedience. In biblical context, the Israelites had a history of rebellion, notably during the wilderness wanderings (Numbers 14). The use of "brood" suggests a lineage or group characterized by sin, echoing Jesus' rebuke of the Pharisees as a "brood of vipers" (<a href="/matthew/12-34.htm">Matthew 12:34</a>), highlighting the seriousness of their actions.<p><b>have risen up in place of your fathers</b><br>This indicates a new generation repeating the mistakes of their ancestors. Historically, the Israelites had been punished for their lack of faith and disobedience, such as the refusal to enter the Promised Land (<a href="/numbers/14.htm">Numbers 14:1-4</a>). The phrase underscores the cyclical nature of sin and the failure to learn from past mistakes. It serves as a warning about the consequences of not heeding God's commands, as seen in the repeated cycles of sin and redemption throughout the Old Testament.<p><b>to further stoke the burning anger of the LORD</b><br>The imagery of "burning anger" reflects God's righteous indignation towards sin. In the Old Testament, God's anger is often depicted as a consuming fire (<a href="/deuteronomy/4-24.htm">Deuteronomy 4:24</a>). This phrase emphasizes the seriousness of provoking God, who is holy and just. The Israelites' actions are seen as exacerbating an already tense relationship with God, who had shown patience and mercy despite their repeated transgressions.<p><b>against Israel.</b><br>This highlights the collective responsibility and consequence of sin within the community of Israel. The nation as a whole is affected by the actions of individuals or groups, reflecting the communal nature of the covenant relationship with God. This concept is seen throughout the Old Testament, where the sins of a few can bring judgment upon the entire nation (Joshua 7). It underscores the importance of communal faithfulness and obedience to God's laws.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_israelites.htm">The Israelites</a></b><br>The descendants of Jacob, who are journeying to the Promised Land.
