Discouraged
Henry, Matthew Numbers 21:4-9 And they journeyed from mount Hor by the way of the Red sea, to compass the land of Edom… Perhaps the way was rough and uneven, or foul and dirty; or it fretted them to go so far about, and that they were not permitted to force their passage through the Edomites' country. Those that are of a fretful discontented spirit will always find something or other to make them uneasy. ( Matthew Henry, D. D..)
