Num 11:33 | MHM | STEP | v. 33 : While the people were still eating the meat, God’s judgment came upon them in the form of a severe plague (v. 33 ). The plague likely resulted from their overindulgence, as well as God’s anger at their greed and lack of faith. Many who had led the complaints and rebellion died. This reminds us that pursuing sinful desires often leads to suffering and loss (Ps. lxxviii. 30, 31 ).
