8440. 'For He has heard your grumblings' means in order that He may bring help because of their grief in temptation. This is clear from the meaning of 'hearing', when said of Jehovah, as having pity and bringing help, and therefore also as bringing to an end, dealt with above in 8428; and from the meaning of 'grumblings' as grief in temptation, and complaint, dealt with in 8351, 8428, 8433.
