Numbers 11:4-15

4The 1rabble who were among them 2had greedy desires; and also the sons of Israel wept again and said, “3Who will give us 4meat to eat? 55We 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 6our 7appetite is gone. There is nothing at all 8to look at except this manna.”

79Now the manna was like coriander seed, and its appearance like that of 10bdellium. 8The people would go about and gather it and grind it 11between 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 12cakes baked with oil. 913When the dew fell on the camp at night, the manna would fall 14with 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 15Moses was displeased. 1116So Moses said to the Lord, “Why have You 17been so hard on Your servant? And why have I not found favor in Your sight, that You have laid the burden of all this people on me? 12Was it I who conceived all this people? Was it I who brought them forth, that You should say to me, ‘Carry them in your bosom as a 1819nurse carries a nursing infant, to the land which 20You swore to their fathers’? 13Where am I to get meat to give to 21all this people? For they weep before me, saying, ‘Give us meat that we may eat!’ 1422I alone am not able to carry all this people, because it is too 23burdensome for me. 1524So if You are going to deal thus with me, please kill me at once, if I have found favor in Your sight, and do not let me see my wretchedness.”
