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.
8 The people went about and gathered it, ground it on millstones or beat it in the mortar, cooked it in pans, and made cakes of it; and aits taste was like the taste of pastry prepared with oil.
9 And awhen the dew fell on the camp in the night, the manna fell on it.
10 Then Moses heard the people weeping throughout their families, everyone at the door of his tent; and athe anger of the Lord was greatly aroused; Moses also was displeased.
11 aSo Moses said to the Lord, “Why have You afflicted Your servant? And why have I not found favor in Your sight, that You have laid the1 burden of all these people on me?
12 Did I conceive all these people? Did I beget them, that You should say to me, a‘Carry them in your bosom, as a bguardian carries a nursing child,’ to the land which You cswore to their fathers?
