Verse 2 is found in chapter 11 of Numbers. The people complain and God’s fire consumes part of the camp. Soon afterward, the multitude expresses nostalgia for the food of Egypt and contempt for the manna. Moses becomes deeply burdened by the responsibility of leading the people and presents his exhaustion before God. The section connects collective complaining with the leadership crisis and with a distorted understanding of the Egyptian past.
