“And the people of Israel also wept again and said, ‘Oh that we had meat to eat!’” (11:4). The anger of the Lord “blazed” at the Israelites not about meat, but because they had rejected his presence (11:20). They let the cravings of the “rabble” convince them to scorn their rescue from slavery and the miraculous manna that sustained them (11:4-6). Moses was so disgusted that he said to the Lord, “Kill me at once” (11:15). Miriam and Aaron showed a similar disregard for God’s goodness when they thoughtlessly undermined Moses’ marriage and leadership (ch 12).

Chasing temporary, unfulfilled desires can lead us to ignore God’s rescue, protection, and provision – even to reject him. The greatest gift is “the Lord who is among us” (11:20).
