Matthew Poole and continuators on Numbers 25:6

6 And behold one of the children of Israel came, and brought unto his brethren , a Midianitish woman, in the sight of Moses , and in the sight of all the congregation of the children of Israel who were weeping before the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.

This was done, either 1. Before Gods command to Moses and by him to the Judges, ver. 4, 5. such transpositions and disorders being not unusual in sacred story. Or rather 2. In the order it is related, to wit, when Moses had given the charge to the Judges, and, as it may seem, before the execution of it, otherwise it is probable he would not have been so bold and foolish to have run upon present and certain ruin, when the examples were fresh and frequent before his eyes.

(i. e.) Into the camp of the Israelites, or to his Friends and Relations in his tent, whither he carried her, ver. 8. for his or their fleshly satisfaction.

An argument of intolerable impudence and contempt of God and of Moses.

(i. e.) The rulers of the congregation with divers of the people.

Bewailing the abominable wickedness of the people and the dreadful judgments of God and imploring Gods mercy and favour.
