Numbers 11:4-10

New Catholic Bible

⁴ Now the rabble^[a] among them fell victim to their desires again, and the people of Israel said, “Who will give us meat to eat? ⁵ We remember the fish we ate freely in Egypt, along with the cucumbers, the melons, the leeks, the onions, and the garlic. ⁶ But now our strength is fading away, all we ever see is this manna.” ⁷ Manna had the shape of coriander seed and it looked like resin. ⁸ The people would go around gathering it, and then they would grind it in a mill or beat it in a mortar. They cooked it in a pot or made it into cakes. It tasted something like fresh olive oil. ⁹ The manna would come down when the dew settled upon the camp at night.

¹⁰ Moses heard the people weeping, each family at the entrance to their tent. The Lord became exceedingly angry, and Moses was greatly displeased.
