1
Now when the people complained, it displeased the Lord; for the Lord heard it, and His anger was aroused. So the fire of the Lord burned among them, and consumed some in the outskirts of the camp.
2
Then the people cried out to Moses, and when Moses prayed to the Lord, the fire was quenched.
3
So he called the name of the place Taberah, because the fire of the Lord had burned among them.
4
Now the mixed multitude who were among them yielded to intense craving; so the children of Israel also wept again and said: "Who will give us meat to eat?
5
We remember the fish which we ate freely in Egypt, the cucumbers, the melons, the leeks, the onions, and the garlic;
6
but now our whole being is dried up; there is nothing at all except this manna before our eyes!"
7
Now the 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 its taste was like the taste of pastry prepared with oil.
