1. And it came to pass that the people complained in an evil manner in the ears of the Lord, and the Lord heard it; and his anger was kindled, and the fire of the Lord burnt among them and consumed in the uttermost parts of the camp.
2. Then the people cried unto Moses, and when Moses prayed unto the Lord, the fire was quenched.
3. And he called the name of the place Taberah because the fire of the Lord burnt among them.
4. And the vulgar who were mixed in among them returned to their lust; and even the sons of Israel wept and said, Who shall give us flesh to eat?
5. We remember the fish, which we freely ate in Egypt, the cucumbers and the melons and the leeks and the onions and the garlic,
6. but now our soul is dried away; there is nothing at all besides this manna before our eyes.
7. And the manna was as coriander seed, and the colour thereof as the colour of bdellium.
8. And the people scattered about and gathered it and ground it in mills or beat it in a mortar and baked it in pans and made cakes of it, and the taste of it was as the taste of fresh oil.
9. And when the dew fell upon the camp in the night, the manna fell upon it.
