Now the (A)rabble who were among them [a]had greedy cravings; and the sons of Israel also wept again and said, “(B)Who will give us [b]meat to eat? (C)We remember the fish which we used to eat for free in Egypt, the cucumbers, the melons, the leeks, the onions, and the garlic; but now (D)our [c]appetite is gone. There is nothing at all [d]to look at except this manna!”

The people would roam about and gather it and grind it [f]between two millstones, or pound it in the mortar, and boil it in the pot and make loaves with it; and its taste was like the taste of [g]cake baked with oil. (G)When the dew came down on the camp at night, the manna would come down [h]with it.
