וַיְהִ֛י בִּנְסֹ֥עַ הָאָרֹ֖ן וַיֹּ֣אמֶר מֹשֶׁ֑ה קוּמָ֣ה ׀ יְהוָ֗ה וְיָפֻ֙צוּ֙ אֹֽיְבֶ֔יךָ וְיָנֻ֥סוּ מְשַׂנְאֶ֖יךָ מִפָּנֶֽיךָ׃
Y fué, que en moviendo el arca, Moisés decía: Levántate, SEÑOR, y sean disipados tus enemigos, y huyan de tu presencia los que te aborrecen.

And the people were as those who complain, etc. We do not find explicitly in Scripture what this complaint was, yet the verse does not come to conceal but to explain. However, since we find two explicit complaints in Scripture — the first, We remember the fish, etc. and the second, weeping among their families regarding matters of forbidden relationships, etc. — therefore, certainly the entire passage speaks about one matter, and it was all one complaint originating from the passage And it came to pass when the Ark set forward, which is the mystery of the inverted letter nun at the end of the passage and in the word kemitonnenim [as those who complain].
For it is surprising in the eyes of many, and also in my eyes it is surprising, what our Sages interpreted (Tractate Shabbat 130a): And Moses heard the people weeping among their families — concerning matters of forbidden relationships that were prohibited to them. What is the connection of this complaint to here? And why did they not weep at the time when the forbidden relationships were prohibited to them? And if at that time they were silent and each of them accepted it, now what happened to them that they came to mention the past and to regret the past which they had already accepted and upheld?
Furthermore, they explicitly said, We remember the fish, and they said, Who will feed us meat? And without doubt, all these verses from and the Children of Israel also wept again until And Moses heard the people weeping are all speaking about one weeping. For this reason, our Sages endeavored to interpret the complaint in a distant way, for in Tractate Yoma (75a), Rav and Shmuel disagree about it — one says it refers to actual fish, and one says it refers to forbidden relationships, using a euphemistic expression, as it is written (Proverbs 30:20), She eats and wipes her mouth. According to his view, it is also simple to say that Who will feed us meat is also a euphemistic expression. And even according to his words, we need to provide a good reason and understanding of what this complaint has to do here, and why they were silent when the forbidden relationships were prohibited to them.

she has hewn her seven pillars The seven days of Creation. Another explanation: This refers to the seven books of the Torah, since (Num. 10:35f.) “And it came about when the ark traveled...” is an individual book, as is stated in tractate Shabbath (116a).

A Midrashic approach based on Midrash Tehillim 90,1: the word means: “a judge.” This is based on Deut. 33,21 צדקת ה' עשה ומשפטיו עם ישראל, “he carried out the righteousness of Hashem and His justice with Israel” [See Rashi ibid. (2nd explanation)]. Moses’ personality reflected the sages’ definition of יקוב הדין את ההר, “let the attribute of Justice bore a hole in the mountain.” [He strove for absolute perfection. Ed.] Rabbi Yehudah, son of Simon said: “why was Moses described as איש האלו-הים? When a man (husband) is confronted by certain vows made by his wife he has the option of annulling them or letting them remain valid. This is what the Torah says in Numbers 30,14: אישה יקימנה ואישה יפרנה, “her husband may either confirm it or her husband may cancel it.” Similarly, Moses was in a position in his dealings with G’d to say to Him קומה ה', “let the Lord arise,” or שובה ה', let the Lord desist” (compare Numbers 10,35). Thus far that Midrash.
