Articles, Bible studies, and sermons that contain The Fourth Book of Moses Called Numbers 11:4:
Numbers 11:4-8
Excerpted from: Freedom and Unleavened BreadTo govern these free people was a tremendous burden for Moses because they weren't free of their slave mentality. They still thought like slaves. They kept rebelling to the extent that they YEARNED to go back to the bondage that they had YEARNED to come out of just a short time before.
What is interesting is that the problem on the surface here had to do with their diet. But that wasn't the real problem. The contrast, as God presents it, was between what was to them a plain and bland diet as compared to the rich and stimulating diet that they were accustomed to in Egypt. They wanted to be stimulated, but they didn't realize—because they were still thinking like slaves—that their tastes were entirely perverted, even their tastes in terms of food. What they were doing in despising the LORD was actually accusing Him—the One who made them—of not knowing any better what they needed to face the rigors of their life in the wilderness.
