Then Moses heard the people weep throughout their families, every man in the door of his tent: and the anger of the LORD was kindled greatly; Moses also was displeased.
Moses heard the people crying and complaining in their family groups, each person standing at the entrance of their tent. The LORD became very angry, and Moses was also upset.

📚 Historical Context
This occurred during Israel's wilderness journey after leaving Egypt, when the people complained about eating only manna and longed for the meat and variety of foods they had in Egypt. The Israelites had been miraculously fed by God daily, yet they were discontent and nostalgic for their former life of slavery. This complaining happened repeatedly during their 40-year journey to the Promised Land.
