Numbers 11:22

The Pulpit Commentary · Joseph S. Exell and contributors · Public Domain

Shall the flocks and herds be slain? Which they had brought out of Egypt with them (see on ), and which no doubt were carefully husbanded, partly in order to supply them with milk and other produce, partly in order to maintain the sacrifices of the law.

All the fish of the sea. A wild expression from which nothing can be fairly argued as to the present position of the camp.
