Throughout the story of the Exodus, there has been one consistent response of the children of Israel and that is to complain. From accusing Moses when their work got harder under Pharaoh, to their fear at the Red Sea, to constant complaints about food and water, the complaining never ceases. As we read in Numbers 11, it continues:
Now the people complained about their hardships in the hearing of the LORD, and when he heard them his anger was aroused. Then fire from the LORD burned among them and consumed some of the outskirts of the camp. 2 When the people cried out to Moses, he prayed to the LORD and the fire died down. 3 So that place was called Taberah, because fire from the LORD had burned among them.
Even after that judgement they continued…..
4 The rabble with them began to crave other food, and again the Israelites started wailing and said, “If only we had meat to eat! 5 We remember the fish we ate in Egypt at no cost—also the cucumbers, melons, leeks, onions and garlic. 6 But now we have lost our appetite; we never see anything but this manna!”
Free food, every day provided by a miracle from God and they complained.
