Charles Ellicott Commentary Psalms 106:15

"And he gave them their request, But sent leanness into their soul." — Psalms 106:15 (ASV)

Leanness. —The Septuagint, Vulgate, and Syriac read “ satiety”. As Mr. Burgess points out, by accepting this reading, and giving nephesh its very usual signification of “lust” (compare Psalm 78:18, where also the word rendered “request” occurs), we get two exact synthetical clauses:

“And he gave them their request,
And sent satiety for their lust.”
