Then the foreign rabble who were traveling with the Israelites began to crave the good things of Egypt. And the people of Israel also began to complain. “Oh, for some meat!” they exclaimed.

So that place was called Kibroth-hattaavah (which means “graves of gluttony”) because there they buried the people who had craved meat from Egypt.

They stubbornly tested God in their hearts, demanding the foods they craved.

The people ate their fill. He gave them what they craved.

It is not for kings, O Lemuel, to guzzle wine. Rulers should not crave alcohol.

These things happened as a warning to us, so that we would not crave evil things as they did,

Living by the Spirit’s Power

So I say, let the Holy Spirit guide your lives. Then you won’t be doing what your sinful nature craves.

Like newborn babies, you must crave pure spiritual milk so that you will grow into a full experience of salvation. Cry out for this nourishment,

And this world is fading away, along with everything that people crave. But anyone who does what pleases God will live forever.
