Summary

In Numbers 11:9, the Israelites in the wilderness express their dissatisfaction with the manna provided by God, longing for the variety of food they had in Egypt. This verse reveals the ingratitude and lack of faith among the Israelites, despite God's miraculous provision and care for them. It serves as a cautionary tale against complaining and desiring worldly comforts over trusting in God's provision. The Israelites' discontent ultimately leads to consequences, highlighting the importance of gratitude and faithfulness in our relationship with God.

John Gill Bible Commentary

And when the dew fell upon the camp in the night,.... As it usually, and even constantly did: the manna fell upon it; as constantly, and had thereby a clean place to fall on; and then another dew fell upon that, which kept it the cleaner still, and from any vermin creeping upon it; see Exo 16:14; so careful was the Lord of this their provision, and so constantly every morning were they supplied with it: and which fell in the night when they were asleep, and at rest, and without any labour of theirs; and was ready to their hands when they arose, and had nothing to do but gather it; and yet were so ungrateful as to make light of it, and despise it.
