3 So that place was called Taberah. The people gave the place that name because the Lord caused a fire to burn in their camp.
4 The foreigners who had joined the Israelites began wanting other things to eat. Soon all the Israelites began complaining again. The people said, “We want to eat meat!
5 We remember the fish we ate in Egypt. That fish cost us nothing. We also had good vegetables like cucumbers, melons, chives, onions, and garlic.
6 But now we have lost our strength. We never eat anything—only this manna!”
7 (The manna was like small coriander seeds, and it looked like sap from a tree.
8 The people gathered the manna. Then they used rocks to crush it and cooked it in a pot. Or they ground it into flour and made thin cakes with it. The cakes tasted like sweet cakes cooked with olive oil.
9 The manna fell on the ground each night when the ground became wet with dew.)
