Exegesis
The object et telunot benei yisrael {אֵת תְּלוּנוֹת בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל | ʾēt tə-lū-nōṯ bənê yiś-rā-ʾēl}, modified by the participle malinim {מַלִּינִים | mal-lî-nîm} and the pronoun hem {הֵם | hēm}, conveys ongoing dissent. This sequence of divine selection, miraculous sign, and removal of protests highlights the LORD’s sovereign authority.
In context — Numbers 17:5
And it shall be that the staff of the man whom I choose shall sprout; and I will remove from upon Me the persistent protests of the sons of Israel who are complaining against you.
