Numbers 11:7 - Forerunner Commentary

Numbers 11:7

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?
