Commentary

Commentary on Numbers 11:5

Theological / Devotional

We remember. Compare Ex. 16:3.

The fish. Common and very cheap in Egypt (Ex. 7:21; Isa. 19:8).

Cucumbers. Refreshing in the hot climates (Isa. 1:8). Such things were, of course, not available in the wilderness.

Melons. Watermelons, a favorite article of food in hot, dry countries. The fish and vegetables mentioned in this verse were the food of the poorer classes in Egypt even as they are today.
