11
Si tu me destines un tel sort, ah! Je te prie, fais-moi plutôt mourir, si j’ai trouvé grâce à tes yeux! Et que je n’aie plus cette misère en perspective!"
Faudra-t-il leur tuer brebis et bœufs, pour qu’ils en aient assez? Leur amasser tous les poissons de la mer, pour qu’ils en aient assez?"
Aliya 7
De Kibroth-Hattaava, le peuple partit pour Hacêroth, et il s’arrêta à Hacêroth.

And the rabble that was among them [the mixed multitude that had gathered unto them in Egypt] lusted lust, and the children of Israel also wept again [with them], and they said: "Who shall give us flesh to eat!" [(They had flesh [see Exodus 12:38 and Numbers 32:1] — they were only seeking a pretext)].

Commentaires sur Nombres 11:4
Rashi
English
The collection [of nationalities]. These were [members of] the “great mixture” which gathered with them when they left Egypt.
And [Bnei Yisroel] turned. Bnei Yisroel, also, and wept with them.
Who will feed us meat? Did they not have meat? Did it not say previously, “A great mixture also went up with them, with sheep and cattle, etc.”? Perhaps you will say they ate them, but does it not say, when they came into the land, “Much cattle belonged to the sons of Reuven, etc.” Evidently, they sought a pretext.

Ramban (Nachmanides)
English
AND THE MIXED MULTITUDE THAT WAS AMONG THEM ‘HITHAVU TA’AVAH’ (FELL A LUSTING). The meaning of this [double expression, which translates literally as “lusted a lust,” is] that they had nothing lacking in the wilderness, for they had plenty of manna and they could make of it all different kinds of delicacies with distinguished flavors, as Scripture relates further on, but they goaded themselves to a great desire, as if they wanted to eat [even] charcoal or earth and other bad foods.
AND THEY SAID: WHO SHALL GIVE US FLESH TO EAT. [They used this expression who shall give us] because there was not enough meat for the whole people to have every day, although they did eat it many times, for some of them had herds, but [only] the important people ate it [every day], as happens in camps and places where prices are high. But about fish they said, We remember the fish, like one who remembers forgotten things, since they had not eaten any fish from the day that they left Egypt until now.

וישובו ויבכו, they again pretended to have justified complaints, testing G’d’s patience. This time they cried that they had agreed to leave Egypt. This was equivalent to insulting the Presence of the Shechinah that had honoured them with its presence amongst them. Moses tells them this explicitly in verse 20 when he said: יען מאסתם את ה' אשר ,בקרבכם ותבכו לפניו לאמור למה זה יצאנו ממצרים?, “because you despised the Lord Who is in your midst and you cried, saying: “why is this that we left Egypt?”
מי יאכלנו בשר?, They said this in order to test if He would permit incestuous relations to His people (compare Psalms 78,18 where Assaph says וינסו א-ל בלבבם לשאל אוכל לנפשם, they asked openly for meat, and in their hearts for sexual gratification other than by their wives).
