Exegesis
The verbs hă-ḇî-ʾōṯānû {הֲבִיאֹתָנוּ | hă-ḇî-ʾōṯānû} ‘you have brought us’ and wa-ttit-ten-lānû {וַתִּתֶּן־לָנוּ | wa-ttit-ten-lānû} ‘and you have given to us’ form parallel direct-address clauses that heighten the accusatory tone.
In context — Numbers 16:14
Moreover, you have not brought us into a land flowing with milk and honey, nor given us an inheritance of fields and vineyards. Will you gouge out the eyes of these men? We will not go up.
