Numbers 11:1-10
1Now the people became like 1those who complain of adversity 2in the hearing of the Lord; and when the Lord heard it, His anger was kindled, and the fire of the Lord burned among them and consumed some of the outskirts of the camp. 23The people therefore cried out to Moses, and Moses prayed to the Lord and the fire 4died out. 3So the name of that place was called 56Taberah, because the fire of the Lord burned among them.
4The 7rabble who were among them 8had greedy desires; and also the sons of Israel wept again and said, “9Who will give us 10meat to eat? 511We remember the fish which we used to eat free in Egypt, the cucumbers and the melons and the leeks and the onions and the garlic, 6but now 12our 13appetite is gone. There is nothing at all 14to look at except this manna.”
715Now the manna was like coriander seed, and its appearance like that of 16bdellium. 8The people would go about and gather it and grind it 17between two millstones or beat it in the mortar, and boil it in the pot and make cakes with it; and its taste was as the taste of 18cakes baked with oil. 919When the dew fell on the camp at night, the manna would fall 20with it.
10Now Moses heard the people weeping throughout their families, each man at the doorway of his tent; and the anger of the Lord was kindled greatly, and 21Moses was displeased.
