Numbers 11:1–15
11 And it happened, the people were like those who ⌊complain of hardship⌋a ⌊in the hearing⌋b of Yahweh, and Yahweh ⌊became angry⌋,c and the fire of Yahweh burned among them, and it consumed the edge of the camp. 2 Then the people cried out to Moses, and Moses prayed to Yahweh, and the fire died down. 3 And he called the name of that place Taberahd because the fire of Yahweh burned among them.
4 The riff-raff that were in their midst ⌊had a strong desire⌋;e and the ⌊Israelites⌋f turned back and also wept, and they said, “Who will feed us meat? 5 We remember the fish that we ate in Egypt for nothing, the cucumber, melon, leek, the onions, and the garlic. 6 But now ⌊our strength is dried up⌋;g there is nothing whatsoever except ⌊for the manna before us⌋.”h
7 Now the manna was like coriander seed, and its outward appearance was like that of bdellium-gum. 8 The people went about and gathered it, and they ground it with mills or crushed it with mortar. Then they boiled it in a pot and made it into bread-cakes; and it tasted like olive oil cakes. 9 When the dew came down on the camp at night, the manna came down with it.
10 Moses heard the people weeping according to theiri clans, each at the doorway of their tents. Then ⌊Yahweh became very angry⌋,j and in the eyes of Moses it was bad. 11 And Moses said to Yahweh, “Why have you brought trouble to your servant? Why have I not found favor in your eyes, that the burdens of all these people have been placed on me? 12 Did I conceive all these people? If I have fathered them,k that you could say to me, ‘Carry theml in your lap, just as a foster-father carries the suckling on the land that you swore an oath to their ancestors?’m 13 From where do I have meat to give all these people? They weep before me, saying, ‘Give us meat and let us eat!’ 14 I am not able to carry all these people along alone; they are too heavy for me. 15 If this is how you are going to treat me, please kill me immediately if I find favor in your eyes, and do not let me see my misery.”
