The People Complain
1 Now awhen the people complained, it displeased the Lord; bfor the Lord heard it, and His anger was aroused. So the cfire of the Lord burned among them, and consumed some in the outskirts of the camp.
2 Then the people acried out to Moses, and when Moses bprayed to the Lord, the fire was1 quenched.
3 So he called the name of the place1 Taberah, because the fire of the Lord had burned among them.
4 Now the amixed multitude who were among them1 yielded to bintense craving; so the children of Israel also wept again and said: c“Who will give us meat to eat?
5 aWe remember the fish which we ate freely in Egypt, the cucumbers, the melons, the leeks, the onions, and the garlic;
6 but now aour whole being is dried up; there is nothing at all except this manna before our eyes!”
7 Now athe manna was like coriander seed, and its color like the color of bdellium.
