Summary

This verse reflects on the Israelites' journey in the wilderness and their rebellion against God. It highlights their ingratitude and lack of faith despite witnessing God's miraculous deeds. The reference to God granting their request but sending leanness to their souls serves as a cautionary tale about the consequences of disobedience and unbelief. It underscores the importance of trusting in God's provision and remaining faithful to Him, lest we suffer spiritual emptiness and dissatisfaction.

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary

but sent leanness--rather, "and sent," that is, and thus, even in doing so, the punishment was inflicted at the very time their request was granted. So Psa 78:30, "While their meat was yet in their mouths, the wrath of God came upon them." soul--the animal soul, which craves for food (Num 11:6; Psa 107:18). This soul got its wish, and with it and in it its own punishment. The place was therefore called Kibroth-hattaavah, "the graves of lust" [Num 11:34], because there they buried the people who had lusted. Animal desires when gratified mostly give only a hungry craving for more (Jer 2:13).
