Verse: "Like mourners." Commentary: "They were mourning like mourners over a deceased, for they were short-spirited and grieving because the Lord desired to bring them into the land and they would go to war, as they were fearful and lacking in faith."

Verse:"At the edge of the camp."Commentary:"And they were fearful lest it spread to the entire camp."

Verse: "And the fire sank down." Commentary: "And it extinguished and did not spread."

Verse :"That which we ate in Egypt for free." Commentary :"This is said so that they would not say to them in Egypt, 'You were eating with blood,' and here you are eating manna without any blood. Therefore, they said 'freely.' Perhaps in Egypt, the Nile River was a source of drink like water for irrigation. These things were ownerless and available to all."

Verse :"Fish" Commentary :"The term 'fish' is used metaphorically, as in 'and they shall multiply' (Genesis 48:16), regarding the cucumbers and watermelons. Now it explains why they asked about these species. As for meat, there is no need to give a reason why they asked, for it is a desirable food. However, regarding these species, it explains why they asked, saying, 'We see nothing but the manna before our eyes, and we have no satisfaction with it.' This is similar to the taste of fine oil, which is refined and boiled. In the portion of Beshalach, Pharaoh said, 'It is like honeycomb dipped in honey.' This refers to when it is not cooked. Both cooked and uncooked honey are sweet and require a condiment, as is done with meat using mustard and garlic. Therefore, they asked about onions and garlic. All these things are only the evil inclination, for even regarding these matters, since they do not produce anything for eating or clothing, as it is written, 'Your garments did not wear out on you' (Deuteronomy 29:4). But a light matter, for they had silver, gold, and abundant livestock. Even something that comes down from heaven does not require seasoning, for God does not produce anything that is not perfected. And there is no pleasure in the world like the manna, and the manna descends from heaven."

And when the dew fell on the camp. And in Exodus it is written, 'And the layer of dew went up, and behold, the surface of the ground was covered with a fine, flaky substance, fine as frost on the ground.' It was between two layers of dew, dew from above and dew from below, like a precious box. The intention here is to convey a little insight to make known that they were not agitated as is usual.

Verse: Each man at the entrance of his tent, they wept for their families Commentary: "This means that the members of each family would pitch their tents in the same neighborhood, and they would come out to the entrance of their tents and weep facing one another."

"When you say to me, 'Where is he in your bosom?'" Commentary:"For if you had not told me and I would not transgress your commandments, I would flee and go for myself. But your commandment has bound me."

Verse: "And I do not wish to see my misfortune." Commentary: "For it is better for me to die by Your hand than to live and be at their mercy and go along with them."

Verse: "And I will take some of the spirit that is upon you" Commentary: "I do not want to give them another spirit but rather from yours, so that they may be your assistants."

Verse: "For you wept before the LORD." Commentary: "In other words, not because you were in need, but because you cried like a rejected child."

Verse: "Not one day." Commentary: "Only (bilvad)" i.e : restricted to a specific condition or circumstance.

Verse: "Until it comes out from your nostrils" Commentary: "Like a strong mustard on which you requested a dipping of condiments like garlic and onions" (It implies that the taste or flavor requested is strong or intense, similar to the pungency of mustard combined with the added flavors of garlic and onions).

Verse: "For you have rejected the Lord who is among you" Commentary: "You said that it was good for us in Egypt, if there was no good for you except the divine presence among you, it would have been enough." (despite any hardships or challenges, the presence of God among the people of Israel is the ultimate source of goodness and fulfillment)

Verse: "And Moses said, 'There are six hundred thousand'" Commentary: "Is there enough meat to satisfy them? If you say, 'I will rain down meat from the heavens for them,' just as you said in the case of the manna, 'I cannot bear the burden alone,' if you say, 'I will bring them herds and flocks,' would it be enough? But you said, 'I will give them meat to eat.' If the meat already exists in the world, where is it in the world that will suffice for them? Therefore, the Holy One, blessed be He, did not insist, for He did not say that it is impossible, but rather He asked, 'Where is it in the world?' And the Holy One, blessed be He, answered him". Verse:"The hand of the Lord will reap" Commentary: " There also are many creatures in the land that you do not know"

Verse: "And two men remained in the camp" Commentary: "For those who claim that two men remained in the camp, it is known that God commanded seventy and Moses clarified the matter by taking six from each tribe. They said, 'We do not see the same greatness in those who were brought into the tent, and there will be no need for a lottery, nor will there be a shame for those who were left out.' Since they belittled themselves, God added greatness to their greatness. The others prophesied and then ceased, for their prophecy came from the power of Moses, but these individuals prophesied and did not cease, for their prophecy came from God." Verse: "And they are written" Commentary: "In the writings that were written there, the names of the seventy-two elders were recorded when they were designated by lots. According to some opinions, when two of the elders saw that they were chosen, they felt ashamed and did not want to take their notes. Instead, they said, 'We do not deserve that greatness; it should be given to others in our place,' and they left." Verse: "And they did not go out to the Tent" Commentary: "For the purpose of prophesying, and that's it. And they are recorded in the writings that in their notes it was written that an elder had already taken the portions."

Verse: "serving Moses from his youths" Commentary: "from his young ones"

Verse: "Lord, Moses, they all belong to Him" Commentary: "Who prophesied without your permission"

Verse: "like the course of a day here and like the course of a day there" Commentary: "According to the appearance in the eyes of the group of Shalyu (Quails), it had a journey of two days and three parasangs in length and a journey of two days and three parasangs in width, like a round or square tablet. They flew one group above another group, touching but not touching, and the second group, the third, and the third, the fourth, until they were two amot (2 cubits) thick, true thickness, in the length, true thickness between the heavens and the earth. In this way, they flew until they reached the camp and covered the entire camp. The camp passed in one day, and the camp was as wide as its center, which was three parasangs, as our sages said. And so it is written that they covered the entire camp, as it is written, 'And the Shalyu (Quail) went up and covered the camp.'"

Verse: "and like the course of a day thus, around the camp." Commentary: "that it was like the course of one day, to the east and to the west, and likewise to the north and south, as my mouth speaks."

Verse: "Ten 'homer" Commentary: "One Homer is equal to 30 se'ah, and ten Homer is equal to 300 se'ah. They amount to 10 se'ah per day, reducing the quantity."

Verse: "They will flatten the ground for them" Commentary: "They flattened traps for their capture because they were flying at a high altitude, and the term 'flattening' is applicable to traps, as it is written: 'A trap will be spread out within the sea upon Tzur."
