Teaching Points God's Patience and EnduranceGod’s patience with the Israelites serves as a powerful reminder of His enduring love and mercy. Despite their repeated failures, He continued to guide and provide for them. The Consequences of Disobedience The forty years in the wilderness were a direct result of the Israelites' disobedience and lack of faith. This serves as a warning to us about the consequences of turning away from God’s commands. Learning from History Paul’s recounting of Israel’s history is a call for us to learn from the past. We should reflect on our own lives and ensure we are walking in faith and obedience. The Importance of Faith The wilderness experience underscores the necessity of trusting in God’s promises, even when circumstances seem challenging or uncertain. God’s Provision in Difficult Times Just as God provided for the Israelites in the wilderness, He continues to provide for us in our times of need. We can trust in His faithfulness and care.(18) Suffered he their manners.--The Greek word so rendered differs by a single letter only from one which signifies "to nurse, to carry, as a father carries his child." Many of the better MSS. versions and early writers give the latter reading, and it obviously falls in far better with the conciliatory drift of St. Paul's teaching than one which implied reproach. The word is found in the Greek of Deuteronomy 1:31 ("bare thee, as a man doth bear his son"), where also some MSS. give the other word, and suggests the inference, already mentioned, that this chapter, as well as Isaiah 1, had been read as one of the lessons for the day.Verse 18. - For about for about, A.V. Suffered he their manners (ἐτροποφόρησεν). This word τροποφορέω, to bear or put up with any one's (perverse) manners, is found nowhere else in the New Testament. But in the Cod. Alex. of the LXX. it is the rendering of Deuteronomy 1:31, instead of ἐτροφόρησεν he bare or carried, as a nursing father carries his child, which is the read of the Cod. Vat. and of the margin of the R.T. here. The Hebrew נָשָׂא is capable of either sense. From this quotation from Deuteronomy it is conjectured that the Par-ashah on this occasion was from Deuteronomy 1, and if the ὕψωσεν of ver. 17 is taken from Isaiah 1, that would seem to have been the Haphtorah, and it is curious that Deuteronomy 1. and Isaiah 1. are read in the synagogues now on the same sabbath (but see note on ver. 17). Forty years is invariably the time assigned to the dwelling in the wilderness (Exodus 16:35; Numbers 14:33, 34; Numbers 32:13; Numbers 33:38; Deuteronomy 1:3; Psalm 95:10, etc.).
