Numbers 11:4-15

4And the mixed multitude that was among them fell a lusting: and the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 also weptH1058 againH7725, and saidH559, Who shall giveH7725 usH7725 fleshH1320 to eatH398?

5WeH834 rememberH2142 the fishH1710, whichH834 weH834 didH834 eatH398 in EgyptH4714 for nought; the cucumbersH7180, and the melonsH20, and the leeksH2682, and the onionsH1211, and the garlick:

6but nowH6258 our soulH5315 is driedH3002 awayH3605; there is nothingH369 at allH3605: weH6258 have nought saveH5315 this mannaH4478 to lookH5869 to.

7And the mannaH4478 was like corianderH1407 seedH2233, and the appearanceH5869 thereof as the appearanceH5869 of bdelliumH916.

8The peopleH5971 wentH1961 aboutH1961, and gatheredH3950 it, and groundH2912 it in mills, or beatH1743 it in mortars, and seethed it in pots, and madeH6213 cakesH5692 of it: and the tasteH2940 of it was as the tasteH2940 of fresh oilH8081.

9And when the dewH2919 fellH5921 uponH5921 the campH4264 in the nightH3915, the mannaH4478 fellH5921 uponH5921 it.

10And MosesH4872 heardH8085 the peopleH5971 weepingH1058 throughoutH8085 their familiesH4940, everyH376 manH376 at the doorH6607 of his tentH168: and the angerH639 of the LORDH3068 was kindledH2734 greatlyH3966; and MosesH4872 was displeasedH7489.

11And MosesH4872 saidH559 unto the LORDH3068, Wherefore hast thou evilH7489 entreated thy servantH5650? and wherefore have I notH3808 foundH4672 favour in thy sightH5869, that thou layest the burdenH4853 of allH3605 this peopleH5971 uponH5921 meH413?

12Have I conceivedH2029 allH3605 this peopleH5971? have I broughtH3205 them forthH3205, that thou shouldest sayH559 unto meH413, CarryH5375 them in thy bosomH2436, as a nursing-father carrieth the sucking childH3205, unto the landH127 whichH834 thou swarest unto their fathersH1?

13Whence should I have fleshH1320 to giveH5414 unto allH3605 this peopleH5971? for they weepH1058 unto meH5414, sayingH559, GiveH5414 usH5414 fleshH1320, that weH3588 may eatH398.

14I am notH3808 ableH3201 to bearH5375 allH3605 this peopleH5971 aloneH905, becauseH3588 it is tooH4480 heavyH3515 for meH4480.

15And ifH518 thou dealH6213 thusH3602 with meH4994, killH2026 meH4994, I prayH4994 thee, outH7200 of hand, ifH518 I have foundH4672 favour in thy sightH5869; and letH4994 meH4994 notH408 seeH7200 my wretchedness.
