LEB(i)
1 And it happened, the people were like those who ⌊complain of hardship⌋* ⌊in the hearing⌋* of Yahweh, and Yahweh ⌊became angry⌋,* 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 Taberah* because the fire of Yahweh burned among them.
4 The riff-raff that were in their midst ⌊had a strong desire⌋;* and the ⌊Israelites⌋* 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⌋;* there is nothing whatsoever except ⌊for the manna before us⌋."*
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 their* clans, each at the doorway of their tents. Then ⌊Yahweh became very angry⌋,* 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,* that you could say to me, 'Carry them* in your lap, just as a foster-father carries the suckling on the land that you swore an oath to their ancestors?'*
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."
