Numbers 11:1-7 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

1. Now the people began complaining openly before the Lord about hardship. When the Lord heard, His anger burned, and fire from the Lord blazed among them and consumed the outskirts of the camp.

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

3. So that place was named Taberah, because the Lord’s fire had blazed among them.

4. Contemptible people among them had a strong craving for other food. The Israelites cried again and said, “Who will feed us meat?

5. We remember the free fish we ate in Egypt, along with the cucumbers, melons, leeks, onions, and garlic.

6. But now our appetite is gone; there’s nothing to look at but this manna! ”

7. The manna resembled coriander seed, and its appearance was like that of bdellium.
