Numbers 11:34
The place was named Kibroth Hattuvah [“Graves of Craving”] because there they buried people who had craved other
food.
I would hate to think that I would be remembered after my
burial as one who “craved after food,” one whose main reason to be remembered was
something so puny as what I wanted to eat, rather than being remembered for,
say, something I did or something I was as a person. These Israelites actually had not only craved
meat (v.4-6) but all the food they had eaten as slaves, not even free men. How easily I forget the blessing of my
present circumstances when faced with the “delights” of my previous
slavery! “The heart is deceitful above
all things…”
