Numbers 11:4-9

4Now the 1rabble who were among them 2had greedy cravings; and the sons of Israel also wept again and said, “3Who will give us 4meat to eat? 55We remember the fish which we used to eat for free in Egypt, the cucumbers, the melons, the leeks, 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 1011bdellium. 8The people would roam about and gather it and grind it 12between two millstones, or pound it in the mortar, and boil it in the pot and make loaves with it; and its taste was like the taste of 13cake baked with oil. 914When the dew came down on the camp at night, the manna would come down 15with it.
