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!”

Numbers

NUMBERS. This book is so called because it contains an account of the enumeration and arrangement of the Israelites. The early part of it, from the first through the tenth chapters, appears to be a supplement to Leviticus, being occupied with relating the appointment of the Levites to the sacred offices. The journal of the march through the wilderness is then given as far as Numbers 21:20; after which the early incidents of the invasion are narrated. One direct quotation only from this book (Numbers 16:5) is made in the New Testament (II Timothy 2:19); but indirect references to it by the later sacred writers are very numerous.
