But murmured in their tents, and hearkened not unto the voice of the LORD.
Israel grumbled in their tents and refused to listen to the Lord's voice. This murmuring came after they despised the pleasant promised land and disbelieved God's word. Because of this rebellion God lifted His hand in oath that that generation would fall and die in the wilderness and that their seed would be scattered among the nations.
As part of Israel's recorded wilderness experience, this account stands as a warning and example for God's people living in the last days. It is a warning that needs to be carefully studied.
Together with Psalm 105 and Psalm 107, it teaches all who claim to be God's children the need to appreciate God's goodness and mercy and love.
