Numbers 11:4-9

New Century Version

Seventy Elders Help Moses

⁴ Some troublemakers among them wanted better food, and 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, and then grind it in handmills, or crush it between stones. After they cooked it in a pot or made cakes with it, it tasted like bread baked with olive oil. ⁹ When the dew fell on the camp each night, so did the manna.
