2.

Ramban (citing also Targum Onkelos): Refer to 16:6:1:2.

3.

Seforno: This was merely a continuation of the Tefilah in the previous Pasuk (Refer to 16:6:2:2) that they should see the completion of the fixing of meal-times 2 , by means of which they would discover that it was Hashem who took them out of Egypt and not Moshe and Aharon.

Chulin, 89a #1: 'I have a strong desire for you', says Hashem, 'because even when I shower you with greatness, you make yourselves small. I bestowed greatness upon Moshe and Aharon ... '. 3

4.

Chulin, 89a #2 Based on a Gezeirah Shavah "Nachnu Mah" "Toleh Eretz al B'li-Mah in Iyov, 26:7, the entire world exists only because of Moshe and Aharon. 4

5.

Chulin, 89a #3: What the Torah says about Moshe and Aharon "ve'Nachnu Mah" is greater than what it says about Avraham "ve'Anochi Afar va'Eifer". 5

Ramban: So how could Yisrael complain about them when everything that happens is orchestrated by Hashem, and they were totally incapable. This is the meaning of the word "Mah" - as in Tehilim, 8:5 and in Yeshayah, 2:22. Rashi, commenting on the Pasuk in Devarim, 7:7 "for you are the smallest of all the nations": This is the mark of Tzadikim, who negate themselves before Hashem, like Avraham, who declared "I am dust and ashes" - Bereishis 18:27, and Moshe and Aharon, who declared "and what are we!"
