Summary

This verse recounts the rebellion of the Israelites in the wilderness when they demanded meat instead of trusting in God's provision. It highlights their ingratitude and lack of faith despite witnessing God's miraculous deeds. The reference to their craving for food reflects a deeper spiritual issue of discontentment and disobedience. Ultimately, this verse serves as a cautionary reminder to rely on God's faithfulness and to be grateful for His blessings, avoiding the pitfalls of unbelief and rebellion.

Commentary

John Gill Bible Commentary

And a fire was kindled in their company,.... This seems to be the company of Korah, or however a part of it, the two hundred and fifty men that had censers, and so were of the Levitical race, as Korah was; this fire came from the Lord out of heaven. The flame burned up the wicked; the two hundred and fifty men with censers, Num 16:35, this was an emblem of that fire which shall consume those that hurt the witnesses; or of that vengeance of eternal fire which wicked men will suffer for ever.

Psalms 106:18

Give Thanks to the LORD, for He Is Good
