Numbers 11:4-15
4And the mixed multitude that was among them lusted exceedingly: and the children of IsraelH3478 alsoH1571 weptH1058 again, and saidH559, Who shall give us fleshH1320 to eatH398? 5We rememberH2142 the fishH1710, which we did eatH398 in EgyptH4714 for nought; the cucumbers, and the melons, and the leeks, and the onions, and the garlic: 6but nowH6258 our soulH5315 is driedH3002 away; there is nothingH369 at all save this mannaH4478 to look upon. 7And the mannaH4478 was like corianderH1407 seedH2233, and the appearanceH5869 thereof as the appearanceH5869 of bdelliumH916. 8The peopleH5971 went about, and gatheredH3950 it, and groundH2912 it in mills, or beat it in mortars, and boiledH1310 it in pots, and madeH6213 cakesH5692 of it: and the tasteH2940 of it wasH1961 as the tasteH2940 of fresh oilH8081. 9And when the dewH2919 fell upon the campH4264 in the nightH3915, the mannaH4478 fell upon it.
10And MosesH4872 heardH8085 the peopleH5971 weepingH1058 throughout their familiesH4940, every manH376 at the doorH6607 of his tentH168: and the angerH639 of Jehovah was kindled greatly; and MosesH4872 was displeased. 11And MosesH4872 saidH559 unto Jehovah, Wherefore hast thou dealt ill with thy servantH5650? and wherefore have I not foundH4672 favorH2580 in thy sight, that thou layest the burdenH4853 of all this peopleH5971 upon me? 12Have I conceivedH2029 all this peopleH5971? have I broughtH3205 them forthH3205, that thou shouldest sayH559 unto me, CarryH5375 them in thy bosomH2436, as a nursing-father carrieth the sucking childH3205, unto the landH127 which thou swarest unto their fathersH1? 13Whence should I have fleshH1320 to giveH5414 unto all this peopleH5971? for they weepH1058 unto me, sayingH559, GiveH5414 us fleshH1320, that we may eatH398. 14I am not ableH3201 to bearH5375 all this peopleH5971 aloneH905, because it is too heavyH3515 for me. 15And if thou deal thusH3602 with me, killH2026 me, I pray thee, out of hand, if I have foundH4672 favorH2580 in thy sight; and let me not seeH7200 my wretchedness.
