民數記 14:45 Meaning and Commentary

Numbers 14:45

Then the Amalekites came down
The hill; met the Israelites as they ascended: and the Canaanites which dwelt in that hill; the same with the Amorites, one of the seven nations of Canaan, ( Numbers 13:29 ) ;

and smote them;
with the sword, having the advantage of them in coming down the hill upon them:

and discomfited them even unto Hormah;
the name of a place, so called from what happened there; as Jarchi says; either from this destruction of the Israelites at this time by these their enemies, or from the destruction of the Canaanites by Israel, ( Numbers 21:4 ) ; and so here has its name by anticipation; or it may be from both these events, and seems to be confirmed by a third of the like kind, having been in former times called Zephath, ( Judges 1:17 ) ; see ( Joshua 15:30 ) ; though some take it to be an appellative here, and not the proper name of a place, and render it even unto destruction, as the Targum of Jonathan, denoting the very great destruction and havoc that were made among them: how many were destroyed is not certain; the judgment threatened them of God soon began to take place, that their carcasses should fall in that wilderness.

民數記 14:45 In-Context

43 亞 瑪 力 人 和 迦 南 人 都 在 你 們 面 前 , 你 們 必 倒 在 刀 下 ; 因 你 們 退 回 不 跟 從 耶 和 華 , 所 以 他 必 不 與 你 們 同 在 。
44 他 們 卻 擅 敢 上 山 頂 去 , 然 而 耶 和 華 的 約 櫃 和 摩 西 沒 有 出 營 。
45 於 是 亞 瑪 力 人 和 住 在 那 山 上 的 迦 南 人 都 下 來 擊 打 他 們 , 把 他 們 殺 退 了 , 直 到 何 珥 瑪 。
