Numbers 11 : 1 - 12
Chapter 11
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. |
9 | And when 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 the anger of the LORD was greatly aroused; Moses also was displeased. |
11 | So 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 the burden of all these people on me? |
12 | Did I conceive all these people? Did I beget them, that You should say to me, "Carry them in your bosom, as a guardian carries a nursing child,' to the land which You swore to their fathers? |
