3 So that place was named Taberah, because the Lord’s fire had blazed among them.
4 Contemptible people among them had a strong craving for other food. The Israelites cried again and said, “Who will feed us meat?
5 We remember the free fish we ate in Egypt, along with the cucumbers, melons, leeks, onions, and garlic.
6 But now our appetite is gone; there’s nothing to look at but this manna! ”
7 The manna resembled coriander seed, and its appearance was like that of bdellium.
8 The people walked around and gathered it. They ground it on a pair of grinding stones or crushed it in a mortar, then boiled it in a cooking pot and shaped it into cakes. It tasted like a pastry cooked with the finest oil.
9 When the dew fell on the camp at night, the manna would fall with it.
