The People Complain
1
And 1the people complained in the hearing of the LORD about their misfortunes, and when the LORD heard it, 2his anger was kindled, and 3the fire of the LORD burned among them and consumed some outlying parts of the camp.
4
Now the 7rabble that was among them had a strong craving. And the people of Israel also 8wept again and said, 9"Oh that we had meat to eat!
5
10We remember the fish we ate in Egypt that cost nothing, the cucumbers, the melons, the leeks, the onions, and the garlic.
6
But now our strength is dried up, and there is nothing at all but this manna to look at."
7
Now 11the manna was like coriander seed, and its appearance like that of bdellium.
8
12The people went about and gathered it and ground it in handmills or beat it in mortars and boiled it in pots and made cakes of it. 13And the taste of it was like the taste of cakes baked with oil.
9
14When the dew fell upon the camp in the night, the manna fell with it.
10
Moses heard the people 15weeping throughout their clans, everyone at the door of his tent. And the anger of the LORD blazed hotly, and Moses was displeased.
11
16Moses said to the LORD, "Why have you dealt ill with your servant? And why have I not found favor in your sight, that you lay the burden of all this people on me?
12
Did I conceive all this people? Did I give them birth, that you should say to me, 17'Carry them in your bosom, as a 18nurse carries a nursing child,' to the land 19that you swore to give their fathers?
13
20Where am I to get meat to give to all this people? For they weep before me and say, 'Give us meat, that we may eat.'
14
21I am not able to carry all this people alone; the burden is too heavy for me.
15
If you will treat me like this, kill me at once, if I find favor in your sight, that I may not see my wretchedness."
