The people spoke against God and Moses, "Why have you brought us up out of Egypt to die in the wilderness? For there is no food and no water, and we loathe this miserable food."OK, this is getting somewhere between old and funny. First they ask yet again why Moses brought them from Egypt, when they well know the answer. They know where they were going, and they decided they couldn't do it. They've been told that their children will get there, but they have to pay for their transgressions first.
Then, they bring the reason for their complaint, and it's contradictory. They say they have no food, then they say they just don't like the food. So which is it, that they don't have the food, or don't like the food they have. I can understand one or the other, but the engineer in me gets annoyed at trying to say both at once. Even if they said they didn't have water, that at least makes sense. But the food argument fails immediately, and they then pay for the complaints.
