Numbers11:6
6 But now our soul is dried away , there is nothing at all besides this Manna, before our eyes .
Either 1. our life, as the soul signifies, Gen. 9. 5. Psal. 33. 19. Iob 36. 14. or 2. our body, which is oft signified by the soul, as Psal. 16. 10. and 35. 12. and 105▪ 18. So Levit. 19. 28. and 21. 1. Numb. 5. 2.
Is withered and pines away, which possibly might be true through envy and discontent and inordinate appetite, as 2 Sam. 13. 4. Prov. 14. 30.
Heb. Our eyes see or look to nothing but this Manna. They speak as it the Manna were onely usefull to please their eyes, with its fine colour and shape, but not to satisfy their appetites or sustain their natures.
