Grieving the Holy Spirit
Commentators highlight that Israel's rebellion "grieved his holy Spirit." This is the same language the Apostle Paul uses to warn Christians (Ephesians 4:30). Scholars like Calvin and Ellicott explain that our sin and unholiness provoke God's Spirit and can damage the bond of union we have with Him, showing how this Old Testament principle applies directly to believers today.
