Numbers 11:1-9

¹Soon the people began to complain about their hardship in the hearing of the LORD, and when He heard them, His anger was kindled, and fire from the LORD blazed among them and consumed the outskirts of the camp.

²And the people cried out to Moses, and he prayed to the LORD, and the fire died down.

³So that place was called Taberah, because the fire of the LORD had burned among them.

⁴Meanwhile, the rabble among them had a strong craving for other food, and again the Israelites wept and said, “Who will feed us meat?

⁵We remember the fish we ate freely in Egypt, along with the cucumbers, melons, leeks, onions, and garlic.

⁶But now our appetite is gone; there is nothing to see but this manna!”

⁷Now the manna resembled coriander seed, and its appearance was like that of gum resin.

⁸The people walked around and gathered it, ground it on a handmill or crushed it in a mortar, then boiled it in a cooking pot or shaped it into cakes. It tasted like pastry baked with fine oil.

⁹When the dew fell on the camp at night, the manna would fall with it.
