Exegesis

The direct object marker et {אֶת־ | ʾet} frames tlunot {תְּלֻנּ֞וֹת | tlū-nôṯ} ‘complaints’, and the construct benei yisrael {בְּנֵ֣י יִשְׂרָאֵ֗ל | bə-nê yiś-rā-ʾēl} ‘sons of Israel’ identifies the murmurers.

In contextNumbers 14:27

How long shall this evil congregation continue to grumble against Me ? I have heard the complaints of the sons of Israel.
