David Guzik gives a good summation - Israel, having been ordered, organized, cleansed, separated, blessed, taught how to give, reminded of God’s deliverance, given God’s presence, and the tools to advance to the Promised Land, is now on the march to Canaan—and immediately, the people complained. How can it be that a nation so blessed can still complain? God had done so much in and for Israel; yet they still murmur against Him. Of course, their circumstances were not easy—but what sin it is for them to complain against God, wiping out the spirit of gratitude in their hearts! NET Note - The chapter includes the initial general complaints (vv. 1–3), the complaints about food (vv. 4–9), Moses’ own complaint to the LORD (vv. 10–15), God’s response to Moses (vv. 16–25), Eldad and Medad (vv. 26–29), and the quail (vv. 30–35). The first part records the burning of the camp, named Taberah. Here is one of the several naming narratives in the wilderness experience. The occasion for divine judgment is the complaining of the people. The passages serve to warn believers of all ages not to murmur as the Israelites did, for such complaining reveals a lack of faith in the power and goodness of God.

Yet within these chapters are innumerable instances of his continuing grace. The reader of these texts goes astray if he or she focuses solely on God’s wrath or on the constant provocations to his anger by his meandering people. The more impressive feature in this text is God’s continuing mercy against continuing, obdurate rebellion.(EBC-Nu) Now the people became like those who complain of adversity in the hearing of the LORD - It is interesting that here Moses does not say specifically what they were complaining about. It makes you think they were grumbling about a number of things -- this desert is so hot, the food is so bland, etc, etc. (Aren't we all a lot like Israel at times in our Christian lives? Just wondering.) Greek has "the people murmured sinfully before the Lord." There are only 3 days into the march. The revert from complete obedience to rebellious complainers! In the Septuagint the phrase in the hearing of the LORD is conveyed by a single word enanti which means in the presence of, in front of, before, over against, in the sight of. It was not before Moses that they complained (although they did that also), but literally before Yahweh Himself! Wow! The sin began in their hearts, but it soon reached their tongues. What they at first silently wished for, they soon loudly demanded with menaces, insinuations, and upbraidings. -- C H Spurgeon KJV says "the people complained and it displeased the LORD" about which
