وَإِذۡ قُلۡتُمۡ يَٰمُوسَىٰ لَن نَّصۡبِرَ عَلَىٰ طَعَامٖ وَٰحِدٖ فَٱدۡعُ لَنَا رَبَّكَ يُخۡرِجۡ لَنَا مِمَّا تُنۢبِتُ ٱلۡأَرۡضُ مِنۢ بَقۡلِهَا وَقِثَّآئِهَا وَفُومِهَا وَعَدَسِهَا وَبَصَلِهَاۖ قَالَ أَتَسۡتَبۡدِلُونَ ٱلَّذِي هُوَ أَدۡنَىٰ بِٱلَّذِي هُوَ خَيۡرٌۚ ٱهۡبِطُواْ مِصۡرٗا فَإِنَّ لَكُم مَّا سَأَلۡتُمۡۗ وَضُرِبَتۡ عَلَيۡهِمُ ٱلذِّلَّةُ وَٱلۡمَسۡكَنَةُ وَبَآءُو بِغَضَبٖ مِّنَ ٱللَّهِۚ ذَٰلِكَ بِأَنَّهُمۡ كَانُواْ يَكۡفُرُونَ بِـَٔايَٰتِ ٱللَّهِ وَيَقۡتُلُونَ ٱلنَّبِيِّـۧنَ بِغَيۡرِ ٱلۡحَقِّۚ ذَٰلِكَ بِمَا عَصَواْ وَّكَانُواْ يَعۡتَدُونَ
And [recall] when you said, "O Moses, we can never endure one [kind of] food. So call upon your Lord to bring forth for us from the earth its green herbs and its cucumbers and its garlic and its lentils and its onions." [Moses] said, "Would you exchange what is better for what is less? Go into [any] settlement and indeed, you will have what you have asked." And they were covered with humiliation and poverty and returned with anger from Allāh [upon them]. That was because they [repeatedly] disbelieved in the signs of Allāh and killed the prophets without right. That was because they disobeyed and were [habitually] transgressing.

Tafsir · 2:61
Al-Mukhtasar
And remember the time you expressed ungratefulness for the blessings of your Lord, becoming bored of the Manna and Salwa Allah sent down to you, declaring: We will not continue to endure eating the one type of unchanging food. So you asked Moses (peace be upon him) to ask Allah to produce plants from the earth to eat consisting of herbs, vegetables, cucumbers (specifically referring to the Armenian cucumber/snake melon), grains, lentils, and onions. Moses condemned their request, telling them: Would you exchange the nobler and better Manna and Salwa which came to you without effort or toil, for that which is inferior and worse? Go down from this land to any town, and you will find what you are asking for within its fields and markets. By following their whims and repeatedly turning away from what Allah chose for them, they were afflicted with constant disgrace, poverty, and misery. They earned Allah's wrath because they turned away from His religion, disbelieved in His signs, and unjustly and brutally killed His prophets – all because they rebelled against Allah and kept transgressing His limits.
