Numbers 11:4-15

4Now the 1rabbleH628 whoH834 were amongH7130 them 2hadH183 greedyH183 cravingsH8378; and the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 alsoH1571 weptH1058 againH7725 and saidH559, “3WhoH4310 will give us 4meatH1320 to eatH398? 55We rememberH2142 the fishH1710 whichH834 we used to eatH398 forH2600 freeH2600 in EgyptH4714, the cucumbersH7180, the melonsH20, the leeksH2682, the onionsH1211, and the garlicH7762; 6but nowH6258 6our 7appetiteH5315 is goneH3002. ThereH369 isH369 nothingH369 at allH3605 8to lookH5869 at exceptH1115 this mannaH4478!”

79Now the mannaH4478 was like corianderH1407 seedH2233, and its appearanceH5869 like that of 1011bdelliumH916. 8The peopleH5971 would roamH7751 aboutH7751 and gatherH3950 it and grindH2912 it 12between two millstonesH7347, orH176 poundH1743 it in the mortarH4085, and boilH1310 it in the potH6517 and makeH6213 loavesH5692 with it; and its tasteH2940 was like the tasteH2940 of 13cakeH3955 baked with oilH8081. 914When the dewH2919 cameH3381 downH3381 on the campH4264 at nightH3915, the mannaH4478 would comeH3381 downH3381 15with it.

10Now MosesH4872 heardH8085 the peopleH5971 weepingH1058 throughout their familiesH4940, eachH376 oneH376 at the entranceH6607 of his tentH168; and the angerH639 of the LordH3068 becameH2734 veryH3966 hotH2734, and 16MosesH4872 was displeasedH7489H5869. 1117So MosesH4872 saidH559 to the LordH3068, “WhyH4100 have You 18beenH7489 so hardH7489 on Your servantH5650? And whyH4100 have I not foundH4672 favorH2580 in Your sightH5869, that You have putH7760 the burdenH4853 of allH3605 thisH2088 peopleH5971 on me? 12Was it I who conceivedH2029 allH3605 thisH2088 peopleH5971? Or did I giveH3205 birthH3205 to them, that You should sayH559 to me, ‘CarryH5375 them 19in your armsH2436, as a 2021nurseH539 carriesH5375 a nursingH3243 infantH3243, to the landH127 whichH834 22You sworeH7650 to their fathersH1’? 13WhereH4480H370 am I to get meatH1320 to giveH5414 to 23allH3605 thisH2088 peopleH5971? For they weepH1058 beforeH5921 me, sayingH559, ‘GiveH5414 us meatH1320 so that we may eatH398!’ 1424I amH3201 not ableH3201 to carryH5375 allH3605 thisH2088 peopleH5971 by myselfH905, becauseH3588 it is tooH4480 25burdensomeH3515 for me. 1526So ifH518 You are going to dealH6213 with me thisH3602 wayH3602, pleaseH4994 killH2026 me nowH2026, ifH518 I have foundH4672 favorH2580 in Your sightH5869, and do not let me seeH7200 my miseryH7463.”
