3 That place was called Taberah [Fire] because fire from the Lord burned among them there.
4 Some foreigners among the Israelites had a strong craving for ⌊other kinds of⌋ food. Even the Israelites started crying again and said, “If only we had meat to eat!
5 Remember all the free fish we ate in Egypt and the cucumbers, watermelons, leeks, onions, and garlic we had?
6 But now we’ve lost our appetite! Everywhere we look there’s nothing but manna!”
7 (Manna was ⌊small⌋ like coriander seeds and looked like resin.
8 The people would go around and gather it, then grind it in a handmill or crush it in a mortar. They would cook it in a pot or make round loaves of bread out of it. It tasted like rich pastry made with olive oil.
9 When dew fell on the camp at night, manna fell with it.)
