It is typically directed against God or His appointed leaders and is characterized by a lack of faith and trust in God's provision and plan.<br><br><b>Biblical Instances:</b><br><br>1. <b>The Israelites in the Wilderness:</b> <br> The most prominent examples of murmuring in the Bible occur during the Israelites' journey from Egypt to the Promised Land. Despite witnessing God's miraculous deliverance and provision, the Israelites frequently complained against Moses and Aaron, and ultimately against God. In <a href="/exodus/16-2.htm">Exodus 16:2-3</a> , the Israelites grumbled about the lack of food: "And there in the desert they all grumbled against Moses and Aaron. 'If only we had died by the LORD’s hand in the land of Egypt,' they said. 'There we sat by pots of meat and ate our fill of bread, but you have brought us into this desert to starve this whole assembly to death!'"<br><br>2. <b>The Rebellion of Korah:</b> <br> In <a href="/bsb/numbers/16.htm">Numbers 16</a>, Korah, Dathan, and Abiram led a rebellion against Moses and Aaron, fueled by discontent and murmuring. This act of defiance was not merely against human leaders but against God's chosen order. <a href="/numbers/16-11.htm">Numbers 16:11</a> states, "Therefore it is against the LORD that you and all your followers have banded together. Who is Aaron that you should grumble against him?"<br><br>3. <b>The Bronze Serpent Incident:</b> <br> In <a href="/numbers/21-4.htm">Numbers 21:4-5</a> , the Israelites again murmured against God and Moses due to the hardships of the journey: "Then they set out from Mount Hor by the way of the Red Sea, to bypass the land of Edom; but the people grew impatient on the journey and spoke against God and against Moses: 'Why have you led us up out of Egypt to die in the wilderness? There is no bread or water, and we detest this wretched food!'"<br><br><b>Theological Implications:</b><br><br>Murmuring is often seen as a symptom of a deeper spiritual issue—namely, a lack of faith and trust in God's sovereignty and goodness. It reflects a heart that is not content with God's provision and timing. In <a href="/1_corinthians/10-10.htm">1 Corinthians 10:10</a> , Paul warns the Corinthian church by referencing the Israelites' example: "And do not grumble, as some of them did, and were killed by the destroying angel."<br><br><b>Consequences of Murmuring:</b><br><br>The Bible consistently portrays murmuring as a serious offense against God, often resulting in divine judgment. For instance, the murmuring of the Israelites led to a prolonged wandering in the wilderness, as seen in <a href="/numbers/14-27.htm">Numbers 14:27-29</a> : "How long will this wicked congregation grumble against Me? I have heard the complaints that the Israelites are making against Me. So tell them: As surely as I live, declares the LORD, I will do to you exactly as I heard you say. Your bodies will fall in this wilderness—all who were numbered in the census, everyone twenty years of age or older—because you have grumbled against Me."<br><br><b>Exhortations Against Murmuring:</b><br><br>The New Testament continues to admonish believers to avoid murmuring. <a href="/philippians/2-14.htm">Philippians 2:14-15</a> instructs, "Do everything without complaining or arguing, so that you may be blameless and pure, children of God without fault in a crooked and perverse generation, in which you shine as lights in the world."<br><br><b>Conclusion:</b> <br>While murmuring is a common human response to difficult circumstances, the Bible calls believers to a higher standard of trust and contentment in God's providence. By focusing on gratitude and faith, Christians are encouraged to overcome the temptation to murmur and instead cultivate a spirit of thankfulness and reliance on God.<a name="eas" id="eas"></a><div class="vheading2">Easton's Bible Dictionary</div>Of the Hebrews in the wilderness, called forth the displeasure of God, which was only averted by the earnest prayer of Moses (<a href="/numbers/11-33.htm">Numbers 11:33</a>, 34; 12; <a href="/numbers/14-27.htm">14:27</a>, 30, 31; <a href="/numbers/16-3.htm">16:3</a>; <a href="/numbers/21-4.htm">21:4</a>-6; <a href="/psalms/106-25.htm">Psalm 106:25</a>).
