LIST210c
(C) Dr Hendel, Jan-03
|
A list of the 10 complaints of the Jews against
God in the wilderness. This illustrates the
technique of OTHER VERSES since Nu14-22b speaks
about the 10 complaints the Jews made against God
Hence the technique of OTHER VERSES must be
used to justify this list.
(This list comes from the talmudic tractate of
Arachin folio 15)

COMMENTS
|
*1 I have simply listed 10 verses with complaints
I have not always followed the Talmudic literal wording
but the above list seems the simplest account of
which 10 complaints are spoken of
*2 Based on Dt09-22 there were two separate incidents
- one incident at TAVAYRAH (Nu11-01:03)
- one incident at KIVROTH TAAVAH (Nu11-04:34)
Hence I have listed each of these as separate complaints*10

LONGER FOOTNOTES

*10 The question remains as to WHICH complaint Nu11-01:03
refers to.
Nu11-01:03 occurs after Nu10-35:36 which speaks
about Gods help for victory. It therefore seems reasonable
to associate Nu11-01:03 with a complaint after victory
(The Talmud in Arachin may be suggesting that this complaint
happened after the Red Sea salvation--the Jews complained
-----------------------------------------
just as we came out of the
sea so will the Egyptians come out
