whose dead bodies fell in the wilderness: The Greek expression rendered “dead bodies” occurs only here in the Christian Greek Scriptures, but it appears in the Septuagint translation of Nu 14:29, 32, the account Paul is alluding to. This Greek expression was apparently used as a derogatory term for people who were judged as being so bad that they did not deserve a decent burial. (See also Isa 66:24, where the Septuagint uses the same Greek word for “the carcasses,” regarding people who rebel against Jehovah.) Paul uses this negative expression to warn Christians not to follow the bad example of those rebellious Israelites “by drawing away from the living God.”—Heb 3:12 and study note.
