Numbers 11:1-6 ▼

1 Now the people became like those who complain and whine about their hardships, and the LORD heard it; and when the LORD heard it, His anger was kindled, and the fire of the LORD burned among them and devoured those in the outlying parts of the camp.

2 So the people cried out to Moses, and when Moses prayed to the LORD, the fire died out.

3 He named that place Taberah (the place of burning), because the fire of the LORD burned among them.

4 The rabble among them [who followed Israel from Egypt] had greedy desires [for familiar and delicious food], and the Israelites wept again and said, “Who will give us meat to eat?

5 We remember the fish we ate freely and without cost in Egypt, the cucumbers, melons, leeks, onions, and garlic.

6 But now our appetite is gone; there is nothing at all [in the way of food] to be seen but this manna.”
