Charles Ellicott Commentary Numbers 14:27

"How long [shall I bear] with this evil congregation, that murmur against me? I have heard the murmurings of the children of Israel, which they murmur against me." — Numbers 14:27 (ASV)

How long shall I bear with this evil congregation...?—Or, How long shall I pardon (or forgive), etc. The verb is not expressed in the Hebrew. It is probable that one of the verbs in Numbers 14:19, pardon or forgive, should be supplied.
