Numbers 11:4-15

4And the mixed multitude that was among them lusted; and the children of IsraelH3478 alsoH1571 weptH1058 again and saidH559, Who will give us fleshH1320 to eatH398?

5We rememberH2142 the fishH1710 that we ateH398 in EgyptH4714 for nothingH2600; the cucumbers, and the melons, and the leeks, and the onions, and the garlic;

6and nowH6258 our soulH5315 is driedH3002 up: there is nothingH369 at all but the mannaH4478 before our eyesH5869.

7And the mannaH4478 was as corianderH1407 seedH2233, and its appearanceH5869 as the appearanceH5869 of bdelliumH916.

8The peopleH5971 went about, and gatheredH3950 it, and groundH2912 it with hand-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 oil-cakes.

9And when the dewH2919 fell upon the campH4264 by nightH3915, the mannaH4478 fell upon it.

10And MosesH4872 heardH8085 the peopleH5971 weepH1058 throughout their familiesH4940, every oneH376 at the entranceH6607 of his tentH168; and the angerH639 of Jehovah was kindled greatly; it was also evilH7489 in the eyesH5869 of MosesH4872.

11And MosesH4872 saidH559 to Jehovah, WhyH4100 hast thou done evilH7489 to thy servantH5650, and whyH4100 have I not foundH4672 favour in thine eyesH5869, that thou layest the burdenH4853 of all this peopleH5971 upon me?

12Have I conceivedH2029 all this peopleH5971, have I broughtH3205 them forthH3205, that thou sayest to me, CarryH5375 them in thy bosomH2436, as the nursing-father beareth the suckling, unto the landH127 which thou didst swearH7650 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, for it is too heavyH3515 for me.

15And if thou deal thusH3602 with me, slayH2026 me, I pray thee, if I have foundH4672 favour in thine eyesH5869, that I may not behold my wretchedness.
