Numbers 11:1-10

1SoonH1961 the peopleH5971 began to complainH596 about their hardshipH7451 in the hearingH241 of the LORDH3068, and when HeH3068 heardH8085 them, His angerH639 was kindledH2734, and fireH784 from the LORDH3068 blazedH1197 among them and consumedH398 the outskirtsH7097 of the campH4264. 2And the peopleH5971 cried outH6817 toH413 MosesH4872, and heH4872 prayedH6419 toH413 the LORDH3068, and the fireH784 died downH8257. 3So thatH1931 placeH4725 was calledH7121H8034 TaberahH8404,1 becauseH3588 the fireH784 of the LORDH3068 had burnedH1197 among them.

4Meanwhile, the rabbleH628 among themH7130 had a strong craving for other foodH183H8378, andH1571 againH7725 the IsraelitesH1121H3478 weptH1058 and saidH559, “WhoH4310 will feed usH398 meatH1320? 5We rememberH2142 the fishH1710 we ateH398 freelyH2600 in EgyptH4714, along with the cucumbersH7180, melonsH20, leeksH2682, onionsH1211, and garlicH7762. 6But nowH6258 our appetiteH5315 is goneH3002; there is nothingH369H3605 to seeH5869 butH1115H413 this mannaH4478!”

7Now the mannaH4478 resembled corianderH1407H1931 seedH2233, and its appearanceH5869 was like thatH5869 of gum resinH916. 8The peopleH5971 walked aroundH7751 and gathered itH3950, ground itH2912 on a handmillH7347 orH176 crushed itH1743 in a mortarH4085, then boiledH1310 it in a cooking potH6517 or shaped it intoH6213 cakesH5692H1961. It tastedH2940 like pastryH3955 baked with fine oilH8081. 9When the dewH2919 fellH3381 onH5921 the campH4264 at nightH3915, the mannaH4478 would fallH3381 with itH5921.

10Then MosesH4872 heardH8085 the peopleH5971 of familyH4940 after familyH376 weepingH1058 at the entrancesH6607 to their tentsH168, and the angerH639 of the LORDH3068 was kindledH2734 greatlyH3966, and MosesH4872 was also displeasedH5869H7489.
