And they tempted God in their heart by asking meat for their lust.

They were not estranged from their lust. But while their meat was yet in their mouths,

And the mixt multitude that was among them fell a lusting: and the children of Israel also wept again, and said, Who shall give us flesh to eat?

And while the flesh was yet between their teeth, ere it was chewed, the wrath of the LORD was kindled against the people, and the LORD smote the people with a very great plague.

And he called the name of that place Kibrothhattaavah: because there they buried the people that lusted.

And at Taberah, and at Massah, and at Kibrothhattaavah, ye provoked the LORD to wrath.

Now these things were our examples, to the intent we should not lust after evil things, as they also lusted.

And they tempted God in their heart by asking meat for their lust.

Behold, he smote the rock, that the waters gushed out, and the streams overflowed; can he give bread also? can he provide flesh for his people?

Harden not your heart, as in the provocation, and as in the day of temptation in the wilderness:

When your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my work.

Wherefore the people did chide with Moses, and said, Give us water that we may drink. And Moses said unto them, Why chide ye with me? wherefore do ye tempt the LORD?

Because all those men which have seen my glory, and my miracles, which I did in Egypt and in the wilderness, and have tempted me now these ten times, and have not hearkened to my voice;

Neither let us tempt Christ, as some of them also tempted, and were destroyed of serpents.

Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, in the day of temptation in the wilderness:

Wherefore I was grieved with that generation, and said, They do alway err in their heart; and they have not known my ways.
