Commentators explain that the phrase "these ten times" can be understood in two ways. Some scholars, like John Gill, list ten specific instances of Israel's rebellion since the Exodus. Others, like Albert Barnes, suggest "ten" is a symbolic number for completeness, signifying that the people's sin had reached its limit and their "day of grace was over."
