Numbers 11:1-10

1The people were murmuring in the ears of Adonai about hardship, and when Adonai heard, His anger burned. The fire of Adonai blazed among them, ravaging the outskirts of the camp.

2The people cried out to Moses, so Moses prayed to Adonai and the fire died out.

3The name of that place was thus called Taberah because fire from Adonai had burned among them.

4The grumblers among them began to have cravings, so Bnei-Yisrael began to wail repeatedly, saying, “If we could just eat some meat!

5We remember the fish that we used to eat in Egypt, for free—the cucumbers, the melons, the leeks, the onions, and the garlic!

6But now we have no appetite. We never see anything but this manna .”

7Now the manna was similar to coriander seed and had an appearance like gum resin.

8The people went about, gathered it up, and ground it in a hand mill or crushed it in a mortar. They cooked it in a pot or made it into cakes. It had a taste like something made with olive oil.

9When the dew descended on the camp at night, the manna descended with it.

10Moses heard the people wailing by their families, each man at the door to his tent. Adonai’s anger became very hot, and Moses was troubled.
