• Here the Lord granted their request but sent leanness into their souls. So that is a lesson for us, to be careful what we ask for. It is a very dangerous thing to ask God for what we naturally like. We had that previously. They got tired of the manna, and wanted flesh. That ought to prepare us for this. The root of the matter was in their had state. God knew exactly what they would have to meet with, the giants, the walled cities, etc. When they got over Jordan they went to Gilgal, where the reproach of Egypt was rolled away, and they were circumcised. They gave up their natural defense then, and had to rely on God for their protection. (“Chapter 13.” by J.A. Taylor, of Worthing)
