1. The 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.
2. The people cried out to Moses, so Moses prayed to Adonai and the fire died out.
3. The name of that place was thus called Taberah because fire from Adonai had burned among them.
4. The grumblers among them began to have cravings, so Bnei-Yisrael began to wail repeatedly, saying, “If we could just eat some meat!
5. We remember the fish that we used to eat in Egypt, for free—the cucumbers, the melons, the leeks, the onions, and the garlic!
6. But now we have no appetite. We never see anything but this manna .”
7. Now the manna was similar to coriander seed and had an appearance like gum resin.
8. The 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.
