Numbers 11:4-6 Rabble

 4Meanwhile, the rabble among them had a strong craving for other food, and again the Israelites wept and said, “Who will feed us meat? 5We remember the fish we ate freely in Egypt, along with the cucumbers, melons, leeks, onions, and garlic. 6But now our appetite is gone; there is nothing to see but this manna!”

Rabble

A disorderly crowd; mob.

Where have I heard this word before? 🤔 


“THE apostle Paul was about to be placed in imminent peril. He was to be brought before the Roman governor, Gallio. The Jews, rank and rabble, were hopeful that they would get him condemned to death.” (C H Spurgeon)


Acts 17:5 But the Jews were jealous, and taking some wicked men of the rabble, they formed a mob....ESV


Have you ever been among the rabble?

When finding myself in difficult situations I try to ask myself, WWJD?

What Would Jesus Do? As a man He would have departed from them and left the mob, the rabble to their own desires. As God He could have spoken a word, “stop” and they would have obeyed!

Blessings
