Pulpit Commentary
Pulpit CommentaryVerse 39. - Obedient for obey, A.V.; turned back in their hearts unto Egypt for in their hearts turned back again into Egypt, A.V. Our fathers would not be obedient, though God had bestowed such signal marks of favor upon them. Turned back in their hearts. A striking instance of their rejection of God's chiefest mercies.
Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(39) To whom our fathers would not obey.--The historical parallelism is continued. The people rejected Moses then (the same word is used as in Acts 7:27) as they were rejecting Christ now, even after He had shown Himself to be their redeemer from a worse than Egyptian bondage.In their hearts turned back again into Egypt.--The sin was one often repeated, but the history referred to is probably that in Exodus 16:3. For a later example see Numbers 11:5.
