Numbers 11:1-10

1When the people complained, it displeased the Lord. When the Lord heard it, his anger burned, and so the fire of the Lord burned among them and consumed some of the outer parts of the camp.

2When the people cried to Moses, he prayed to the Lord, and the fire died out.

3So he called the name of that place Taberah because there the fire of the Lord burned among them.

4Now the mixed multitude who were among them craved more desirable foods, and so the Israelites wept again and said, “If only we had meat to eat!

5We remember the fish we used to eat freely in Egypt, the cucumbers, the melons, the leeks, the onions, and the garlic.

6But now we are dried up, and there is nothing at all before us except this manna!”

7(Now the manna was like coriander seed, and its color like the color of bdellium.

8And the people went about and gathered it, and ground it with mills or pounded it in mortars; they baked it in pans and made cakes of it. It tasted like fresh olive oil.

9And when the dew came down on the camp in the night, the manna fell with it.)

10Moses heard the people weeping throughout their families, everyone at the door of his tent; and when the anger of the Lord was kindled greatly, Moses was also displeased.
