2. And the people cried to Moses; and when Moses prayed to 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 mixed multitude that was among them fell to lusting: and the children of Israel also wept again, and said, Who shall give us flesh to eat?
5. We remember the fish which we ate in Egypt freely: 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 color of it as the color of bdellium.
8. And the people went 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.
10. Then Moses heard the people weeping throughout their families, every man in the door of his tent: and the anger of the LORD was kindled greatly: Moses also was displeased.
11. And Moses said to the LORD, Why hast thou afflicted thy servant? and why have I not found favor in thy sight, that thou layest the burden of all this people upon me?
12. Have I conceived all this people? have I begotten them, that thou shouldest say to me, Carry them in thy bosom, as a nursing-father beareth the sucking child, to the land which thou sworest to their fathers?
13. Whence should I have flesh to give to all this people? for they weep to me, saying, Give us flesh, that we may eat.
