SEV Biblia, Chapter 21:5

Y habló el pueblo contra Dios y contra Moisés: ¿Por qué nos hiciste venir de Egipto para que muramos en este desierto? Que no hay pan, ni agua, y nuestra alma tiene fastidio de este pan tan liviano.

Clarke's Bible Commentary - Numbers 21:5

Verse 5. This light bread.] lqlqh hakkelokel, a word of excessive
scorn; as if they had said, This innutritive, unsubstantial, cheat-stomach stuff.

John Gill's Bible Commentary

Ver. 5. And the people spake against
God , etc.] Who went before them in the pillar of cloud and fire, for leading them in such a way; that is, against Christ, as the apostle has taught us to interpret it, ( 1 Corinthians 10:9), and is no inconsiderable proof of the deity of Christ; and so the Targum of Jonathan paraphrases it, “and the people thought in their heart, and spake against the Word of the Lord,” the essential Word and Son of God: and against Moses ; his servant, for obeying the orders of the Lord, and leading and guiding the people as he directed him: wherefore have ye brought us up out of Egypt to die in the wilderness ? ascribing this equally to God and to Moses; using a strange word, as Aben Ezra calls it, being in a great passion, and not considering well what they said; showing great ingratitude for such a mercy, and representing it in a wrong light, as if the intent of bringing them from thence was to slay them in the wilderness: for [there] is no bread ; no bread corn, nothing in the wilderness to make bread of; nothing that they called and accounted bread, otherwise they had manna, as is presently owned: neither [is there] any water ; any fresh water fit to drink, otherwise they were near the sea; what they had from the rock, lately, perhaps was now spent, and it did not follow them as the other rock had: and our soul loatheth this light bread ; the manna; this very light, this exceeding light bread, the radicals of the word used being doubled, which increases the signification: if to be understood of light and easy digestion, it was the more to be valued; but perhaps they meant, it had but little substance and virtue in it, and was not filling and satisfying; or rather that it was exceeding vile, mean, and despicable; so they called the bread of heaven, angel’s food, this wonderful gift of Providence; in like manner is Christ, the hidden manna, treated, and his Gospel, and the precious truths of it, by unregenerate men and carnal professors, ( 1 Corinthians 1:23).

Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 4-9 - The
children of Israel were wearied by a long march round the land of Edom. They speak discontentedly of what God had done for them, an distrustfully of what he would do. What will they be pleased with, who manna will not please? Let not the contempt which some cast on the wor of God, make us value it less. It is the bread of life, substantia bread, and will nourish those who by faith feed upon it, to eterna life, whoever may call it light bread. We see the righteous judgmen God brought upon them for murmuring. He sent fiery serpents among them which bit or stung many to death. It is to be feared that they woul not have owned the sin, if they had not felt the smart; but they relen under the rod. And God made a wonderful provision for their relief. The Jews themselves say it was not the sight of the brazen serpent tha cured; but in looking up to it, they looked up to God as the Lord tha healed them. There was much gospel in this. Our Saviour declared, Jo 3:14, 15, that as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so the Son of man must be lifted up, that whatsoever believeth in him, shoul not perish. Compare their disease and ours. Sin bites like a serpent and stings like an adder. Compare the application of their remedy an ours. They looked and lived, and we, if we believe, shall not perish It is by faith that we look unto Jesus, Heb 12:2. Whosoever looked however desperate his case, or feeble his sight, or distant his place was certainly and perfectly cured. The Lord can relieve us from danger and distresses, by means which human reason never would have devised Oh that the venom of the old serpent, inflaming men's passions, an causing them to commit sins which end in their eternal destruction were as sensibly felt, and the danger as plainly seen, as the Israelites felt pain from the bite of the fiery serpents, and feare the death which followed! Then none would shut their eyes to Christ, or turn from his gospel. Then a crucified Saviour would be so valued, tha all things else would be accounted loss for him; then, without delay and with earnestness and simplicity, all would apply to him in the appointed way, crying, Lord, save us; we perish! Nor would any abus the freeness of Christ's salvation, while they reckoned the price whic it cost him.
