8402.出埃及记16:2，3.以色列人的全会众在旷野向摩西、亚伦发怨言，以色列人对他们说，巴不得我们在埃及地早死在耶和华的手下；那时我们坐在肉锅旁，吃饼得饱。你们将我们领出来，到这旷野，是要用饥饿杀死这全会众啊！
“以色列人的全会众发怨言”表由于试探的严厉而造成的痛苦和随之而来的报怨。“向摩西、亚伦”表向神之真理。“在旷野”表一个试探的状态。“以色列人对他们说”表由焦虑所产生的思维。“巴不得我们在埃及地早死在耶和华的手下”表对他们来说，他们处于侵扰的状态时被主抛弃反而更好一些。“那时我们坐在肉锅旁”表一种随心所欲的生活。“吃饼得饱”表在这种情况下，他们可以尽情享受低级趣味的良善。“你们将我们领出来”表他们被释放之后。“到这旷野”表一个试探的状态。“是要用饥饿杀死这全会众啊”表他们因缺乏快乐和良善而正在灭亡。

8402. Verses 2, 3. And all the assemblage of the sons of Israel murmured against Moses and against Aaron in the wilderness. And the sons of Israel said unto them, Oh that we had died by the hand of Jehovah in the land of Egypt, when we sat by the flesh-pot, when we did eat bread to satiety! for ye have brought us forth unto this wilderness, to kill this whole congregation with hunger. "And all the assemblage of the sons of Israel murmured," signifies the suffering and the consequent complaint on account of the grievousness of the temptation; "against Moses and against Aaron," signifies against truth Divine; "in the wilderness," signifies a state of temptation; "and the sons of Israel said unto them," signifies thought from anxiety; "Oh that we had died by the hand of Jehovah in the land of Egypt," signifies that it would have been better for them to have been left by the Lord when they were in a state of infestations; "when we sat by the flesh-pot," signifies a life according to what they like, and as they had desired; "when we did eat bread to satiety," signifies that thus they had enjoyed the good of pleasures as much as they wished; "for ye have brought us out," signifies after they were liberated; "unto this wilderness," signifies a state of temptations; "to kill this whole congregation with hunger," signifies that they were expiring from a lack of delight and of good.

8402. Verses 2, 3 And all the assembly of the children of Israel grumbled against Moses and against Aaron in the wilderness. And the children of Israel said to them, Would that we had adied by the hand of Jehovah in the land of Egypt, when we sat by a pot of flesh, eating bread to the full!

8402. Vers. 2, 3. Et murmurabant omnis coetus filiorum Israelis contra Moschen et contra Aharonem in deserto. Et dixerunt ad illos filii Israelis, Quis dabit? mortui fuissemus manu Jehovae in terra Aegypti, in sedendo nos ad ollam carnis, in edendo nos panem ad satietatem; quia eduxistis nos ad desertum hoc, ad occidendum omnem congregationem hanc fame. `Et murmurabant omnis coetus filiorum Israelis' significat indolentiam et inde querimoniam propter tentationis gravitatem: `contra Moschen et contra Aharonem' significat verum Divinum: `in deserto' significat statum tentationis: `et dixerunt ad illos filii Israelis' significat cogitationem ex anxietate: `Quis dabit? mortui fuissemus manu Jehovae in terra Aegypti' significat quod praestiterit relictos fuisse a Domino cum erant in statu infestationum: `in sedendo nos ad ollam carnis' significat vitam secundum libitum, et sicut concupiverunt: `in edendo nos panem ad satietatem' significat quod sic bono voluptatum fruerentur quantum vellent: `quia eduxisti nos' significat quod postquam liberati: `ad desertum hoc' significat statum tentationum: `ad occidendum omnem congregationem hanc fame' significat quod ex defectu jucundi et boni exspirarent.
