12 Movies Like The Grand Budapest Hotel (2014) On Fubo
movieslike › The Grand Budapest Hotel (2014)
Chasing the feel of watching The Grand Budapest Hotel ? Here are the movies we recommend you watch after The Grand Budapest Hotel (2014).
Wes Anderson's amazing visuals, dry characterizations, and yarn-spinning story-telling all add up to a delightful flick. Jude Law, staying at the decrepit but once plush Grand Budapest Hotel in the fictional Republic of Zubrowka, encounters the mysterious Zero Moustafa (F. Murray Abraham), the hotel's owner. Over a bottle of wine, he discovers the charmed history of the hotel which includes among its roster of characters Gustave H (Ralph Fiennes) and a star-studded assortment of cameos by the likes of Bill Murray, Harvey Keitel, Willem Defoe, Jeff Goldblum, and Adrien Brody. This is a whimsical tale told with great style and a dark comedy which is not really that much dark. It explores the viewer's nostalgic senses in a very subtle way and has a very engaging script with many layers to it. I loved it as it took me to a totally different world created by the director and away from my daily routine, which is something very few films manage to do.
1. Short Term 12, 2013
Understated in budget but lavished with praise, this semi-autobiographical drama by Daniel Destin Cretton flings its audience into the chaotic lives and personal crises of at-risk youths and the passionate social workers that aid them. In his first feature film, the young director draws the viewers into the storm of events and the emotional ups-and-downs of social work in America, going from uplifting to depressing and back – and every emotion in-between.
Set in the real-life and eponymous group home Short Term 12, devoted but troubled foster-care worker Grace is played by Brie Larson, whose shining performance in her first leading role was lauded by critics. Fans will also recognize the supporting actors Lakeith Stanfield and Rami Malek, who broke out in this movie. Short Term 12 is now considered one of the most important movies of 2013 – some say of the decade – owing to its immaculate writing, intimate camerawork, and gripping performances.
2. Victoria, 2015
Much like Berlin's infamous nightlife, which serves as the backdrop to the plot, this daring German real-time drama will eat you up and spit you out. After leaving a nightclub at 4am, Victoria, a runaway Spanish girl, befriends a gang of four raucous young men, climbing rooftops and drinking beers among the city's moon-lit streets. The gang's light-hearted banter is impressively improvised from a skeleton script, offset by Niels Frahm's ominous original score.
But what starts out as late-night high jinks swerves into darker territory. Driven by her infatuation with the pack leader Sonne, played by Frederick Lau, Victoria ends up being recruited as a get-away driver for an ill-prepared bank robbery and loses herself in a sinister spiral of events. What sounds like a standard-issue crime drama is, in fact, a staggering cinematic experiment.
Filmed in one take, on location, and in real time, the movie's production is indeed a gamble, but director Sebastian Schipper more than pulls it off. The claustrophobic camerawork of cinematographer Sturla Brandth Grøvlen leaves the viewer feeling like a hapless accomplice to Victoria's plight. With Laia Costa giving an awe-striking lead performance, the high wire acting of the entire main cast only adds to this effect. Victoria is a stellar directorial debut, heart-stopping drama, and a truly immersive experience.
4. Whiplash, 2014
Miles Teller plays Andrew Nieman, an ambitious young jazz drummer striving for greatness, who is edged towards breaking point by the sadism of his teacher and conductor, Terence Fletcher, played expertly by J.K. Simmons. Fletcher insults him, pressures him, and makes him cry in front of all his peers. Directed by Damien Chazelle, who was one of the youngest people to receive a Golden Globe and an Academy Award for the powerful La La Land, the aptly titled Whiplash poses some intense questions about artistry and ambition. Will Andrew survive? Will it lift him to a higher artistic level? Can his tormentor be appeased through accomplishment? It's almost impossible to single out the best part of this film, considering the flawless performances, masterful script, and meticulously crafted soundtrack. Cherishing the existential artist without giving easy answers, Whiplash is an inspiring watch.
5. Nebraska, 2013
Nebraska is a poem distilled into a film. Peter Travers from Rolling Stone says "is it a comedy or a drama? Both at the same time, as life itself." Everything about it is perfect: the acting, the photography, the story. In case that's not enough and you need to know the plot to get convinced, I'll tell you that it's a road movie about a senile old man and his son. If you still want more information, you can Google it, but come on! You'll just be wasting time that would be better spent on watching this masterpiece.
6. Begin Again, 2013
John Carney, who directed the critically and commercially successful Once, may be the world's best captor of charm. Begin Again tells the story of a broken-hearted singer who gets discovered by a failed showbiz executive. Their ideas and love for music are all they have to face their failures and bring their creativity to life. The original songs are charming and from Keira Knightley and Mark Ruffalo to Yasiin Bey (Mos Def), Adam Levine, and Cee-Lo Green, the cast generate sparkling chemistry and portray the story beautifully. Begin again is a sweet and effortless watch, yet far from being your classic rom-com.

7. Snowpiercer, 2013, 2014
Snowpiercer is an under-the-rader post-apocalyptic thriller that offers the grittiness that many times only Asian cinema may achieve. South Korean director Joon-ho Bong forces audiences to forget that Chris Evans was ever a Marvel superhero, as he leads a revolt of his fellow "low-class" citizens against the self-appointed gentry in a train that contains all remaining members of the planet. With immersive environments and a layered script, this film melds together social commentary and moral discourse in a visually arresting and vastly entertaining package.
8. Inside Llewyn Davis, 2013
Inside Llewyn Davis tells the interesting and captivating story of a young, struggling singer navigating through the Greenwich Village folk scene in 1961. The movie conveys all sorts of emotions, thanks to Coen brothers' stroke of genius: it is strange, funny, dramatic and satisfying at the same time. Not to mention, the ensemble cast is superb, and the music is absolutely great. It is the kind of movie that will put an unfamiliar yet wondrous feeling into you as you live through Llewyn Davis' eyes and feel his pain.
9. Beanpole, 2019
This heartbreaking Russian drama takes place in Leningrad six months after the end of the war. A boy is asked to do an impression of an animal, any animal, but the boy stands still. "Just do a dog then", one person says, to which another remarks "he's never seen one, they've all been eaten."
In this bleak context, two friends meet again and try to restart their lives. Masha is a soldier who has just come back from the war in Berlin, and Iya, a tall woman nicknamed "Beanpole", is a nurse who suffers from PTSD episodes that freeze her body. Both characters, so brilliantly acted, personify the thin line between desperation and hopefulness in this difficult but incredibly well-made drama.

10. In Order of Disappearance, 2014
This movie is pretty much in every regard a Norwegian Kill Bill. It's a dark gory comedy where, naturally, the substitute for Uma Thurman doing damage is an emotionless Stellan Skarsgård. After his son is killed by a drug gang, Skarsgård's character, fresh off a win of a "citizen of the year" award, embarks on a ruthless journey to track and kill the murderers. This takes place in one of the most remote areas in Norway, where the main character works as a snowplow driver. You guessed it, some people will get snowplowed. Seems familiar? That's because this year it was turned into a horribly sub-par American movie called Cold Pursuit, with, ugh, Liam Neeson.
11. A Coffee in Berlin, 2012
A black and white movie, A Coffee in Berlin is an early Woody Allen reminiscent film with a great emphasis on the emotions it handles. It flows naturally, telling the story of Niko, a young college dropout in a period of his life where he has to face loneliness and lack of money and success. He goes from observing the people of Berlin to first realizing he is becoming a stranger to them and then lastly deciding to do something about his life. It's a whimsical German film with a lot of heart, as much of a tribute to youth as it is a tribute to the city of Berlin.
12. Ida, 2013
Ida, the 2015 Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film, is a stark black & white drama set in the early 60's about a young Polish nun-to-be and her bawdy Aunt Wanda searching for the truth behind her family's demise at the hands of the Nazis. What initially comes off as a painfully slow sleep-inducer pretty quickly evolves into a touching and lively contrast between the two lead characters; one virtuous and pure, the other boorish and hedonistic. Their journey is equal parts amusing, insightful and heartbreaking, with Ida's personal exploration of self playing out as a remarkably humanistic affair. The cinematography by Lukasz Za and Ryszard Lenczewski is particularly striking, each shot a work of art in it's own right. Logging in at just 82 minutes, the entire story whizzes by in a flash. The kind of film that will stay with you long after you've watched it.

What It Means: Catalog Sales Outnumber Current Sales
Every year since people have been reading and writing blogs, January has been a time in the music industry to examine the depressing statistics of album sales from the previous year.
While often grim, these articles are an essential part of covering the year-to-year evolution and changes in how music fans consume their favorite genres. (Plus, they're usually a better read than the comment section in your favorite music blog's article about the best albums of the year.)
Case in point, a very interesting article emerged on Music Business Worldwide over a week ago, presenting to us that 2015 was the first year in recorded history during which catalogue album sales outnumbered current album sales.
According to Nielsen data, catalogue albums – which it defines as any release over 18 months old – shifted 122.8m copies in 2015 in the US, down 2.9% on 2014's tally of 126.5m.
And since no music article is a music article without mentioning Adele, author Tim Ingham pointed out that the pop starlet's 25 album made up for 7.4 million current sales. That means without her release in 2015, catalogue sales would have cleared any current releases by 11.7 million. (It's of course important to acknowledge Adele's position in mainstream music – independent artists don't necessarily have a lot in common with this sort of star when it comes to sales, whether they're old releases or new. Adele is worth mentioning in this case because of how much of an impact one album had on the final stats for the year 2015.)
Taking a deeper dive, the Nielsen stats show that there was a larger discrepancy between sales of new albums and sales of past albums in the 'physical sales' column than in the 'digital sales' column. Not hard to believe when you factor in the popularity of vinyl records – it's a lot more likely that the 21-year old getting into record collecting is purchasing 2 old Rolling Stones or Velvet Underground LPs than using his or her record player to spin albums released this year.
On the digital front, current albums beat out catalog albums in sales 52.5 million vs 50.9 million, with catalog singles beating current single sales by a larger margin of 484.9 vs. 479.8. This probably comes down to the demographics of those purchasing music: younger fans are more in touch with digital consumption, following their favorite artists on social media and knowing just when their new music is going to drop. Streaming on the whole is being done by a younger demographic, and we see that this group is more likely to stream singles than older consumers, who might opt for a more dated release. This is good news all around if you're an artist looking to appeal to a wide array of ages.
Are catalog sales not something you've ever really taken into serious consideration when thinking about the state of music? You're not crazy. If you're an independent artist reviewing their year-end sales, you're likely more focused on how you can continue to better market your more recent or even upcoming work.
What does this mean for artists who are going at it without label support, booking their own gigs, and managing their own marketing efforts across all channels? It's a lot of data to digest, and there are lots of conclusions to draw. One hugely clear takeaway from all of this, however, is that your old releases can still be important to your future career.
Now, if you go from playing black metal to pop music over 6 years under the same name, yeah, maybe you can let go of some of those early releases as you head into a new direction. But as you continue to evolve and you begin to reach new fans, they're going to want to hear everything you've got to bring them, even if it's from years ago.
There may be some releases you have from back in the day that have a lot more value you than placed in them originally. You're trying to appeal to diehard music fans, and in 2016 diehard music fans want access. Find your 'super fans' on social media channels, your email lists, and at your shows – give them as much access to your music as you can! When you find those demos or old EPs you handed out after gigs and offer them on iTunes, Spotify and Deezer, you're able to grow your super fan base and reinforce their dedication.
We're seeing that catalog sales and streaming matter for all artists, and when you're able to offer access to more of your music to super fans, everyone benefits.

Small‐town drug dealer David (Jason Sudeikis) is robbed off his cash and pot, so he owes his cruel drug lord supplier Brad (Ed Helms) big time. As a way to clear his debt, David is forced to smuggle marijuana over the border from Mexico to the US.
To make his "mission" look less suspicious, he is joined by his neighbour Rose (Jennifer Aniston), who is actually a stripper, his 18‐year‐old neighbour Kenny (Will Poulter) and teenage runaway Casey (Emma Roberts). From now on, they pretend to be a happy and suburban all‐American family called the Millers.
The Millers © 2016 Warner Bros. Entertainment Inc.
A large proportion of We're the Millers was filmed in the US state of New Mexico, its largest city Albuquerque and its capital city Santa Fe. Located just across the border, the landscape in New Mexico looks very similar to actual Mexico located just a few miles south of the border.
New Mexico was one of the first US states that issued a major tax incentive program to film companies, which has made the state very popular with the film industry. Many films and series have since been shot here, including the hit TV series Breaking Bad.
For me it's just one of the best comedies that Jennifer Aniston and Jason Sudeikis ever did, if not THE BEST COMEDY EVER. Even though I've seen We're the Millers many times over, I just can't help myself: I still have to laugh so much at the silly jokes!
Oh my gosh! What happend here? Watch "We're the Millers" to find out the answer! Photo: © 2016 Warner Bros. Entertainment Inc.
Of course, there were other brilliant supporting actors such as Kathryn Hahn, the crazy mum of the family that the Millers reluctantly befriend, or Casey's new (boy)friend – NO RAGRETS! – Scottie P. (Mark L. Young).
Finally, everyone who loves this comedy as much as I do, you can rejoice: As of early 2016, I heard that the film studio is apparently working on a sequel!
If you are a fan of The Hangover or Horrible Bosses, this will be spot‐on with your sense of humour!

› Market Update (24th August 2020)
We start the week with mixed economic data across the globe as August 'flash' business surveys in the US and UK in particular, showed better momentum; outperforming those in Europe and Japan.
European manufacturing continued to recover but with renewed lockdowns and travel restrictions in several countries came a fall in services activity. As has been clear for some time, countries' recoveries will be uneven and susceptible to pullbacks in the event of government intervention.
The bounce back in UK activity was above expectations and indicates a continued acceleration of the recovery in both services and manufacturing; the services index at 60.3 signalled the fastest rate of expansion since October 2013:
Retail sales in the UK rose by 3.6% in July and are now 3% above pre-crisis levels in February, following gains in May and June, driven by a 11.9% month-on-month increase in clothing sales. Perhaps more importantly, online sales fell by 7%, suggesting that the recovery in physical shops was more impressive than the headline figure, and that shoppers are starting to return to the high street.
The 'eat out to help out' scheme continues to drive restaurant activity higher as the chart below shows. The ONS estimates that in the week to 16th August, 93% of adults said they had heard about the scheme, 11% said they have already eaten out and received the discount, and a further 41% said they were very likely or likely to make use of it during August:
Finally, the ONS also estimates that almost two thirds of workers who were put on furlough are now back at work, meaning around 12% of the UK workforce is still being paid to stay at home, per the chart below. While unemployment is expected to rise as the furlough scheme tapers through to October, in light of a more positive economic rebound, Oxford Economics now believes that it will peak at 6.5% by the end of 2020, rather than the 8-10% figures forecasted by other analysts:
The Chancellor has firmly rebuffed those urging him to extend the furlough scheme, even as other countries such as Australia and France extend theirs. Jobs will be permanently lost, but the scheme's cost is enormous, with the OBR estimating it at £47bn, and some argue that many 'zombie jobs' could be propped up that would not survive in the post-COVID work environment.
In markets, US equities reached an all-time high, fully recovering losses from the coronavirus selloff despite a jump in weekly jobless claims and a continued impasse on another coronavirus relief bill. This negative sentiment was tempered by the Federal Reserve's reaffirmation of its intent to provide aggressive stimulus, and by the on-going fall in trend coronavirus cases and fatalities.
The S&P 500 rose by 1.05% during the week, ahead of other developed and emerging market indices. Asian equities eked out a positive 0.53% return, with the broader emerging market index rising by just 0.17%, dragged back by poorer performing Eastern European (-4.79%) and Latin American (-2.87%) bourses. All other major indices fell, with Europe and the UK worst after more negative signalling around Brexit negotiations. The FTSE 100 fell by 1.32% and the FTSE 250 by 0.81%, with the UK remaining one of the weakest performing regions globally this year. The outlook for corporate earnings also remains poor in absolute and relative terms, meaning the potential for upside surprises is greater.
Fixed income returns were generally muted, with more volatility seen in government bond markets. UK Gilts rose by 0.23% whilst Index-Linked Gilts fell by 0.41%. Precious metals prices rose sharply at the start of the week before fading into Friday's close; silver rose by 2.65% and gold by 0.14% in Pound terms.
Looking forward, November's US Presidential election is starting to come into sharper focus as newly anointed Democrat candidate Joe Biden gave a sybaritic speech challenging Americans to embrace the 'path of hope and light'. Not naming President Trump directly, Biden told the largely virtual audience that he 'will be an ally of the light, not the darkness', framing the election as a fundamental referendum on the nation's character.
Turbulence already surrounds the election as controversy around postal voting has engulfed the US Postmaster General – a major Trump donor – even as polling data shows a narrowing between the two candidates. Both sides will look to bolster their credentials on a range of topics in the coming weeks, with analysis to follow on potential outcomes.
Whichever candidate prevails, we would expect a continuation of extraordinarily easy monetary policy from the US Fed, and loose fiscal policy to a greater or lesser degree. A Biden presidency is touted to bring with it higher levels of corporate taxation, but equally may usher in a much needed calmer political and geopolitical period for the US. We will study developments with interest.

Football NSW Newest Community Futsal Competition Celebrates Diversity
Sunday 24th March 2019 heralds the launch Football NSW newest affiliated local competition the Multicultural Futsal Series (M-Series), to be hosted at the King George Recreation Centre at the iconic Rocks in Sydney's CBD.
The M-Series Harmony Round is about Celebrating Diversity, Strengthening Social Cohesion and Connecting Communities to play the World Game Down Under.
This landmark project will see the hosting of eight one day tournaments over the course of a year that align to key dates in the City of Sydney's social and cultural calendar, including, Youth Week, Refugee Week and NAIDOC Week.
A key objective in this multi-faceted project is to provide a platform for newly arrived migrants, their families and communities to build social capital through participating in futsal and football-oriented activities and competitions.
The project is the brainchild of Jarrod Galbraith-Marten, who in consultation with many community leaders, organisations, supporter agencies and individual members from diverse ethnic, religious and cultural groups, identified a need to develop a model of community engagement.
The aim was also to enable groups to enter an environment where they can participate in a sport that they enjoy, celebrate their cultural identity and forge lifelong friendships with members of other ethnic, religious and cultural groups.
An overarching goal of the M-Series is to make newly arrived migrant communities, especially those from refugee backgrounds, feel welcome in Australia and contribute to their integration into society.
It is by no coincidence that the 'M-Series' takes place at one of Australia's most iconic locations.
The King George V Recreation Centre sits at the feet of The Sydney Harbour Bridge and a stone's throw from Circular Quay.
The 'M-Series' will provide participants the opportunity to use the King George V Recreation Centre as their community hub and gateway to explore and enjoy the best of what Sydney has to offer.
The project serves as an example of meaningful collaboration between key stakeholder groups including the state governing body for football and futsal (Football NSW), a professional football club (Western Sydney Wanderers F.C), a local government authority (City of Sydney), a specialist not-for profit organisation, NSW Service for the Treatment and Rehabilitation of Torture and Trauma Survivors (STARTTS) a NSW government healthcare service provider (Sydney Local Health District) and an Australian youth charity (Fair Game).
The M-Series collaborators had this to say about their involvement and support of the 'M-Series'.
Galbraith-Marten stated his excitement in being involved with such a Series.
'I feel deeply honoured and privileged to be involved in such a momentous project as the M-Series.
"I strongly believe it will be hugely beneficial to the communities and sponsor organisations that engage in the project.
"I see the project as more of a process, a process that will continue to evolve and grow beyond its original scope. My sincere hope is that at some point in the not so distant future complete ownership of the 'Multicultural Futsal Series' can be transferred to the communities that it seeks to serve."
Sydney's Chair for Fair Game Australia Nathan Stone echoed Galbraith-Marten's thoughts.
'The M-Series provides an environment of inclusion and acceptance while allowing access to health and education services for Sydney's newest Australians.
"Fair Game Australia is grateful to be involved with an opportunity that brings these communities together and can expand each groups capacity."
The first round of the tournament series will be held during the City of Sydney's Harmony Week on Sunday 24th March 2019.
For this first tournament teams will consist members from Afghan Hazara, Tibetan, Burmese Rohingya, Iranian, Iraqi, Syrian and African communities.
Scheduled future rounds include: Youth Week (14th April), Refugee Week (16th June), and NAIDOC Week (7th July).

Abstract: Quantum computers promise dramatic advantages over their classical counterparts, but the answer to the most basic question "What is the source of the power in quantum computing?" has remained elusive. Here we prove a remarkable equivalence between the onset of contextuality and the possibility of universal quantum computation via magic state distillation. This is a conceptually satisfying link because contextuality provides one of the fundamental characterizations of uniquely quantum phenomena and, moreover, magic state distillation is the leading model for experimentally realizing fault-tolerant quantum computation. Furthermore, this connection suggests a unifying paradigm for the resources of quantum information: the nonlocality of quantum theory is a particular kind of contextuality and nonlocality is already known to be a critical resource for achieving advantages with quantum communication. In addition to clarifying these fundamental issues, this work advances the resource framework for quantum computation, which has a number of practical applications, such as characterizing the efficiency and trade-offs between distinct theoretical and experimental schemes for achieving robust quantum computation and bounding the overhead cost for the classical simulation of quantum algorithms.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes
on the Whole Bible
The punishment of the murmurers stopt by the prayer of Moses, verse 1-3.
The fresh murmuring of the people, verse 4-6.
The description of manna, verse 7-9.
The murmuring of Moses, verse 10-16.
God's answer, verse 16-23.
The appointment of the seventy elders, verse 24-30.
Quails sent with a plague, verse 31-35.
Complained - Or, murmured, the occasion whereof seems to be their last three days journey in a vast howling wilderness, and thereupon the remembrance of their long abode in the wilderness, and the fear of many other tedious journeys, whereby they were like to be long delayed from coming to the land of milk and honey, which they thirsted after. The fire of the Lord - A fire sent from God in an extraordinary manner, possibly from the pillar of cloud and fire, or from heaven. The uttermost parts - Either because the sin began there among the mixed multitude, or in mercy to the people, whom he would rather awaken to repentance than destroy; and therefore he sent it into the skirts and not the midst of the camp.
The people - The murmurers, being penitent; or others for fear.
Taberah - This fire; as it was called Kibroth-hattaavah from another occasion, Numbers 11:34,35, and Numbers 33:16. It is no new thing in scripture for persons and places to have two names. Both these names were imposed as monuments of the peoples sin and of God's just judgment.
Israel also - Whose special relation and obligation to God should have restrained them from such carriage. Flesh - This word is here taken generally so as to include fish, as the next words shew. They had indeed cattle which they brought out of Egypt, but these were reserved for breed to be carried into Canaan, and were so few that they would scarce have served them for a month.
Freely - Either without price, for fish was very plentiful, and fishing was there free, or with a very small price. And this is the more probable because the Egyptians might not taste of fish, nor of the leeks and onions, which they worshipped for Gods, and therefore the Israelites, might have them upon cheap terms.
Our soul - Either our life, as the soul signifies, Genesis 9:5, or our body, which is often signified by the soul. Dried away - Is withered and pines away; which possibly might be true, through envy and discontent, and inordinate appetite.
As coriander-seed - Not for colour, for that is black, but for shape and figure. Bdellium - Is either the gum of a tree, of a white and bright colour, or rather a gem or precious stone, as the Hebrew doctors take it; and particularly a pearl wherewith the Manna manifestly agrees both in its colour, which is white, Exodus 16:14, and in its figure which is round.
Fresh oil - Or, of the most excellent oil; or of cakes made with the best oil, the word cakes being easily supplied out of the foregoing member of the verse; or, which is not much differing, like wafers made with honey, as it is said Exodus 16:31. The nature and use of Manna is here thus particularly described, to shew the greatness of their sin in despising such excellent food.
In the door of his tent - To note they were not ashamed of their sin.
Not found favour - Why didst thou not hear my prayer, when I desired thou wouldest excuse me, and commit the care of this unruly people to some other person.
Have I begotten them? - Are they my children, that I should be obliged to provide food and all things for their necessity and desire?
To bear - The burden of providing for and satisfying them. Alone - Others were only assistant to him in smaller matters; but the harder and greater affairs, such as this unquestionably was, were brought to Moses and determined by him alone.
My wretchedness - Heb. my evil, my torment, arising from the insuperable difficulty of my office and work of ruling this people, and from the dread of their utter extirpation, and the dishonour which thence will accrue to God and to religion, as if, not I only, but God also were an impostor.
To be elders - Whom thou by experience discernest to be elders not only in years, and name, but also in wisdom and authority with the people. And according to this constitution, the Sanhedrim, or great council of the Jews, which in after-ages sat at Jerusalem, and was the highest court of the judgment among them, consisted of seventy men.
I will come down - By my powerful presence and operation. I will put it on them - That is, I will give the same spirit to them which I have given to thee. But as the spirit was not conveyed to them from or through Moses, but immediately from God, so the spirit or its gifts were not by this means impaired in Moses. The spirit is here put for the gifts of the spirit, and particularly for the spirit of prophecy, whereby they were enabled, as Moses had been and still was, to discern hidden and future things, and resolve doubtful and difficult cases, which made them fit for government. It is observable, that God would not, and therefore men should not, call any persons to any office for which they were not sufficiently qualified.
Sanctify themselves - Prepare to meet thy God, O Israel, in the way of his judgments. Prepare yourselves by true repentance, that you may either obtain some mitigation of the plague, or, whilst your bodies are destroyed by the flesh you desire and eat, your souls may be saved from the wrath of God. Sanctifying is often used for preparing, as Jeremiah 6:4; . In the ears of the Lord - Not secretly in your closets, but openly and impudently in the doors of your tents, calling heaven and earth to witness.
At your nostrils - Which meat violently vomited up frequently doth. Thus God destroys them by granting their desires, and turns even their blessings into curses. Ye have despised the Lord - You have lightly esteemed his bounty and manifold blessings, you have slighted and distrusted his promises and providence after so long and large experience of it. Who is among you - Who is present and resident with you to observe all your carriage, and to punish your offences. This is added as a great aggravation of the crime, to sin in the presence of the judge. Why came we forth out of Egypt? - Why did God do us such an injury? Why did we so foolishly obey him in coming forth?
Six hundred thousand footmen - Fit for war, besides women and children. That Moses speaks this as distrusting God's word is evident; and that Moses was not remarkably punished for this as he was afterward for the same sin, Numbers 20:12, may be imputed to the different circumstances of this and that sin: this was the first offence of the kind, and therefore more easily passed by; that was after warning and against more light and experience. This seems to have been spoken secretly: that openly before the people; and therefore it was fit to be openly and severely punished to prevent the contagion of that example.
Moses went out - Out of the tabernacle, into which he entered to receive God's answers from the mercy-seat. The seventy men - They are called seventy from the stated number, though two of them were lacking, as the Apostles are called the twelve, Matthew 26:20, when one of that number was absent. Round the tabernacle - Partly that the awe of God might be imprinted upon their hearts, that they might more seriously undertake and more faithfully manage their high employment, but principally, because that was the place where God manifested himself, and therefore there he would bestow his spirit upon them.
Rested on them - Not only moved them for a time, but took up his settled abode with them, because the use and end of this gift was perpetual. They prophesied - Discoursed of the word and works of God in a marvellous manner, as the prophets did. So this word is used, 1 Samuel 10:5,6; Joel 2; ; 1 Corinthians 14:3. Yet were they not hereby constituted teachers, but civil magistrates, who together with the spirit of government, received also the spirit of prophesy, as a sign and seal both to themselves and to the people, that God had called them to that employment. They did not cease - Either for that day, they continued in that exercise all that day, and, it may be, all the night too, as it is said of Saul, 1 Samuel 19:24, or, afterwards also, to note that this was a continued gift conferred upon them to enable them the better to discharge their magistracy; which was more expedient for them than for the rulers of other people, because the Jews were under a theocracy or the government of God, and even their civil controversies were decided out of that word of God which the prophets expounded.
In the camp - Not going to the tabernacle, as the rest did, either not having seasonable notice to repair thither: or, being detained in the camp by sickness, or some urgent occasion, not without God's special providence, that so the miracle might be more evident. Were written - In a book or paper by Moses, who by God's direction nominated the fittest persons.
Told Moses - Fearing lest his authority should be diminished by their prophesying; and thereby taking authority to themselves without his consent.
One of his young men - Or, one of his choice ministers, which may be emphatically added, to note that even great and good men may mistake about the works of God. Forbid them - He feared either schism, or sedition, or that by their usurpation of authority, independently upon Moses, his power and esteem might be lessened.
Enviest thou for my sake - Art thou grieved because the gifts and graces of God are imparted to others besides me? Prophets - He saith prophets, not rulers, for that he knew was absurd and impossible. So we ought to be pleased, that God is glorified and good done, tho' to the lessening of our own honour.
Into the camp - Among the people, to exercise the gifts and authority now received.
A wind from the Lord - An extraordinary and miraculous wind both for its vehemency and for its effects. Quails - God gave them quails once before, Exodus 16:13, but neither in the same quantity, nor with the same design and effect as now. From the sea - Principally from the Red-sea, and both sides of it where, by the reports of ancient Heathen writers, they were then in great numbers, and, no doubt, were wonderfully increased by God's special providence for this very occasion. Two cubits high - Not as if the quails did cover all the ground two cubits high for a day's journey on each side of the camp, for then there had been no place left where they could spread them all abroad round about the camp; but the meaning is, that the quails came and fell down round about the camp for a whole day's journey on each side of it, and that in all that space they lay here and there in great heaps, which were often two cubits high.
Stood up - Or rather rose up, which word is often used for beginning to do any business. All that night - Some at one time, and some at the other, and some, through greediness or diffidence, at both times. Ten homers - That is, ten ass loads: which if it seem incredible, you must consider, 1. That the gatherers here were not all the people, which could not be without great inconveniences, but some on the behalf of all, while the rest were exercised about other necessary things. So the meaning is not, that every Israelite had so much for his share, but that every collector gathered so much for the family, or others by whom he was intrusted. 2. That the people did not gather for their present use only, but for a good while to come, and being greedy and distrustful of God's goodness, it is not strange if they gathered much more than they needed. 3. That the word, rendered homers, may signify heaps, as it doth, Exodus 8:14; Judges 15:16; Habakkuk 3:15, and ten, is often put for many, and so the sense is, that every one gathered several heaps. If yet the number seems incredible, it must be farther known, 4. That Heathen and other authors affirm, in those eastern and southern countries quails are innumerable, so that in one part of Italy, within the compass of five miles, there were taken about an hundred thousand of them every day for a month together. And Atheneus relates, that in Egypt, a country prodigiously populous, they were in such plenty, that all those vast numbers of people could not consume them, but were forced to salt and keep them for future use. They spread them - That so they might dry, salt and preserve them for future use, according to what they had seen in Egypt.
Chewed - Heb. cut off, namely from their mouths. A very great plague - Probably the pestilence. But the sense is, before they had done eating their quails, which lasted for a month. Why did God so sorely punish the peoples murmuring for flesh here, when he spared them after the same sin, Exodus 16:12. Because this was a far greater sin, and aggravated with worse circumstances; proceeding not from necessity, as that did, when as yet they had no food, but from mere wantonness, when they had Manna constantly given them; committed after large experience of God's care and kindness, after God had pardoned their former sins, and after God had in a solemn and terrible manner made known his laws to them.
Kibroth-hattaavah - Heb. the graves of lust, that is, of the men that lusted, as it here follows. And it notes that the plague did not seize upon all that eat of the quails, for then all had been destroyed, but only upon those who were inordinate both in the desire and use of them.
