Commentary on Numbers 21:4
Israel journeyed 'by the way of the Red sea, to compass the land of Edom' because Edom refused passage (20:14-21). This detour tested patience, prompting the complaint that follows. The phrase 'the soul of the people was much discouraged because of the way' reveals how circumstantial difficulty can erode faith, especially when God's path seems indirect or unnecessarily hard.
