The attested use denotes the sons of Israel’s repeated complaints, identified in the clauses as directed against the LORD: Exodus 16:7, Exodus 16:8, Exodus 16:9, and Exodus 16:12 connect them with the provision of meat and bread, while Numbers 14:27 describes them as continuing complaints against him.

1. Complaints directed against the LORD · dominant

   All attested forms are feminine plural construct nouns. In Exodus 16:7 and Exodus 16:8, the complaints are explicitly said to be against the LORD rather than Moses and Aaron; in Exodus 16:9 and Exodus 16:12, the LORD is said to have heard them in the setting of promised meat and bread. Numbers 14:27 likewise places the complaints in the congregation’s continuing action against him; the APB renders the clauses with “grumbling” and “murmurings.”

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the relevant clauses as “grumbling” in Exodus 16:7, Exodus 16:8, Exodus 16:9, and Exodus 16:12, and as “murmurings” in Numbers 14:27. These renderings confirm the clauses’ overall presentation rather than isolating a precise English equivalent.
