Pulpit Commentary

Pulpit CommentaryVerse 15. - And he gave them their request. By sending the quails (Numbers 11:31, 32). But sent leanness into their soul. By "leanness" is meant dissatisfaction or disgust. After eating freely of the quails for a full month, the food became "loathsome" to them (Numbers 11:20). Whether it actually produced the pestilence which followed (Numbers 11:33). or whether that was a separate and distinct affliction, it is impossible to determine (compare, on the whole subject, Psalm 78:18-31, and the comment ad loc.).

Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(15) Leanness.--The LXX., Vulg., and Syriac read "satiety." As Mr. Burgess points out, by accepting this reading, and giving nephesh its very usual signification of "lust" (comp. Psalm 78:18, where also the word rendered "request" occurs) we get two exact synthetical clauses:--"And he gave them their request,And sent satiety for their lust."
