Context — The Complaint of Moses
8The people walked around and gathered it, ground it on a handmill or crushed it in a mortar, then boiled it in a cooking pot or shaped it into cakes. It tasted like pastry baked with fine oil.
9When the dew fell on the camp at night, the manna would fall with it.
10Then Moses heard the people of family after family weeping at the entrances to their tents, and the anger of the LORD was kindled greatly, and Moses was also displeased.
11So Moses asked the LORD, “Why have You brought this trouble on Your servant? Why have I not found favor in Your sight, that You have laid upon me the burden of all these people? 12Did I conceive all these people? Did I give them birth, so that You should tell me, ‘Carry them in your bosom, as a nurse carries an infant,’ to the land that You swore to give their fathers?Cross References

Numbers 11:10 Summary
This verse, Numbers 11:10, shows how the people of Israel were unhappy with the food God was giving them, and they were crying about it. This made God very angry, because He was providing for their needs, just like He promises to do for us in Matthew 6:25-34 and Philippians 4:19. Moses was also upset, because he had to deal with the people's complaining, and he felt overwhelmed with the responsibility of leading them, as seen in Exodus 18:13-18. We can learn from this verse to be thankful for what God gives us and to trust in His provision, rather than complaining or being discontent.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why were the people weeping at the entrances to their tents in Numbers 11:10?
The people were weeping because they were dissatisfied with the manna God had provided for them, as seen in the context of Numbers 11:8-9, and they longed for the variety of foods they had in Egypt, as mentioned in Numbers 11:5-6, which is similar to the Israelites' pattern of complaining in Exodus 16:2-3 and Exodus 17:1-4.
What does it mean that the anger of the LORD was kindled greatly in Numbers 11:10?
The anger of the LORD was kindled greatly because the people's discontent and complaining showed a lack of trust in God's provision, which is a theme seen throughout the Bible, such as in Psalm 106:7 and Deuteronomy 1:26-27, where the people's unbelief and disobedience angered God.
Why was Moses also displeased in Numbers 11:10?
Moses was displeased because he was burdened with the responsibility of leading the people and dealing with their constant complaining, as seen in Numbers 11:11-12, where he cries out to God for help, similar to his frustration in Exodus 18:13-18 and Numbers 12:1-3.
How does Numbers 11:10 relate to the overall story of the Israelites in the wilderness?
Numbers 11:10 is part of the larger narrative of the Israelites' journey through the wilderness, where they faced various challenges and temptations, and their responses to these challenges revealed their faith and obedience to God, as seen in Deuteronomy 8:2-5 and Hebrews 3:7-19.
Reflection Questions
- What are some ways that I complain or show discontent in my own life, and how can I learn to trust God's provision like the Israelites were supposed to?
- How do I respond when I feel burdened or overwhelmed with responsibilities, and what can I learn from Moses' example in Numbers 11:10-12?
- In what ways can I cultivate a heart of gratitude and contentment, even in difficult circumstances, like the apostle Paul in Philippians 4:11-13?
- What does it mean to 'weep at the entrances to my tent', and how can I be honest with God about my struggles and frustrations, like the psalmist in Psalm 42:1-5?
Gill's Exposition on Numbers 11:10
Then Moses heard the people weep throughout their families,.... So general was their lusting after flesh, and their discontent for want of it; and so great their distress and uneasiness about it,
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Numbers 11:10
Then Moses heard the people weep throughout their families, every man in the door of his tent: and the anger of the LORD was kindled greatly; Moses also was displeased.
Matthew Poole's Commentary on Numbers 11:10
In the door of his tent; to note, that they were not ashamed of their sin. Moses was displeased; partly, for their great unthankfulness; partly, foreseeing the dreadful judgments coming upon them, and partly, for his own burden expressed in the following verses.
Trapp's Commentary on Numbers 11:10
Numbers 11:10 Then Moses heard the people weep throughout their families, every man in the door of his tent: and the anger of the LORD was kindled greatly; Moses also was displeased.Ver. 10. Weep throughout their families.] Generally and openly they rebelled and murmured, though so lately they had smarted at Taberah. And this they did, not once or twice, but ten times over; whereby it appears that God chose this unthankful people, not for their merits, sed ex mera et mira misericordia. He chose them for his love, and loved them for his choice.
Ellicott's Commentary on Numbers 11:10
(10) Moses also was displeased.—Or, And it was evil (or, displeasing) in the eyes of Moses. Moses was displeased with the people on account of their murmuring, and he was oppressed with the heavy burden of responsibility to which he felt himself unequal.
Cambridge Bible on Numbers 11:10
4–34. (I) The Manna and Quails. J . (II) The burden of the people too heavy for Moses. J . (III) The Spirit of ecstasy upon the elders. E . These verses should be studied in the following order: (I) Numbers 11:4-10; Numbers 11:13; Numbers 11:18-24 a (to ‘the words of the Lord’), 31–34. (II) Numbers 11:11-12; Numbers 11:14-15. (III) Numbers 11:16-17 a, 24b–30.
It will be seen that the narratives (II) and (III) have no real connexion with (I). In the process of compilation two sentences were lost. The words ‘And Moses said unto Jehovah’ in Numbers 11:11 a are required for both narratives, and must be added for (I) at the beginning of Num 11:13. Similarly Numbers 11:18 (as Numbers 11:16) must begin ‘And Jehovah said unto Moses, say thou &c.’ If this is done, two distinct narratives emerge, and a fragment of a third: (I) The people being weary of manna murmured for flesh. Jehovah was angry and warned them that they would loathe the flesh when it came. Moses was incredulous that such a miracle could be performed. But a wind brought a mass of quails, and a plague was the result. (II) Moses found the care and guidance of the people a burden too heavy to bear, and prayed that he might die. (III) Jehovah took some of Moses’ spirit and put it upon seventy elders, so that they were filled with prophetic frenzy, including two who were not with the others in front of the Tent. Joshua wished Moses to forbid them, but he refused.
(I) Numbers 11:4-10; Numbers 11:13; Numbers 11:18-24 a, 31–34. Manna and Quails. In Exodus 16 there is a more complete narrative of the manna, from P , where Numbers 11:35 (‘they did eat the manna … until they came into the borders of the land of Canaan’) shews that manna was not sent on two distinct occasions, but that the two narratives are parallel accounts. In the present chapter the sending of the manna is not related (see on Numbers 11:6). But it must not be concluded from this that our narrative is the sequel to that in Exodus 16; for (I) a description of the manna is given, as though it were a new phenomenon, in Numbers 11:7-9 as well as in Exodus 16:14; Exodus 16:31, and there are considerable differences in the two accounts; and (2) the laying of the pot of manna ‘before the Testimony’ (Exodus 16:34) shews that that narrative belongs to a time after the Testimony (i.e. the Decalogue) was given at Sinai. Thus both in P and J it is related that manna was sent after the departure from the mountain. Moreover, while P has this very full parallel account of the manna, it also has fragmentary references to the quails embedded in it. See Exodus 16:8 a (‘in the evening flesh to eat’), 12 (‘at even ye shall eat flesh’), 13a (‘at even the quails came up and covered the camp’). (II) Numbers 11:11-12; Numbers 11:14-15.
Whedon's Commentary on Numbers 11:10
10. Every man — This indicates the universality of the disaffection. In the door of his tent — Not secretly but publicly giving vent to his tears and complaints.
