What did they say about Hashem?

1.

Radak: "Can He set a table in the Midbar?" This was in their hearts, like "Dibarti Ani Im Libi", "Amarti Ani b'Libi" (Koheles 1:16, 2:1). They did not say so with their mouths, that they request meat to test Hashem, and not due to need.

What is the question "ha'Yuchal Kel La'aroch Shulchan ba'Midbar"?

1.

Radak: In a place where there is no food, can He set a full table with all needs of sustenance? He gave some things needed for the table - manna and water, but can He set a full table, with meat? He brought manna from Shamayim, just like snow and hailstones 1 , and water - many rocks, water exudes from them. However, from where will He bring meat?!

2.

Malbim: Can He set a table not lacking anything - bread, meat and water? Even though He already gave meat [they asked if He can give all three at once - refer to 78:18:2:2. - PF]

Even though snow and hail are merely frozen water, and are not food, they did not consider manna to be so different from them. (PF)
