Commentary on Numbers 21:5
Israel's complaint repeated familiar themes: 'Wherefore have ye brought us up out of Egypt to die in the wilderness?' They again despised manna, calling it 'light bread' (Hebrew 'qeloqel', worthless or contemptible). This rejection of God's miraculous provision near the journey's end showed that time doesn't automatically mature faith—Israel ended as they began, in unbelieving complaint.
