2 So the people cried out to Moses. He prayed to the Lord, and the fire stopped burning.
3 So that place was called Taberah. The people named it that because the Lord’s fire had burned among them.
4 Some troublemakers among them wanted better food. Soon all the Israelites began complaining. They said, “We want meat!
5 We remember the fish we ate for free in Egypt. We also had cucumbers, melons, leeks, onions and garlic.
6 But now we have lost our appetite. We never see anything but this manna!”
7 The manna was like small white seeds.
8 The people would go to gather it. Then they ground it in handmills. Or they crushed it between stones. They cooked it in a pot or made cakes with it. It tasted like bread baked with olive oil.
