⁴ And the ^(A)rabble who were among them ^[a]had greedy desires; and also the sons of Israel wept again and said, “^(B)Who will give us ^[b]meat to eat? ^5 (C)We remember the fish which we used to eat free in Egypt, the cucumbers and the melons and the leeks and the onions and the garlic, ⁶ but now ^(D)our ^[c]appetite is dried up. There is nothing at all ^[d]to look at except this manna.”

^7 (E)Now the manna was like coriander seed, and its appearance like that of ^(F)bdellium. ⁸ The people would go about and gather it and grind it ^[e]between two millstones or beat it in the mortar, and boil it in the pot and make cakes with it; and its taste was as the taste of ^[f]cakes baked with oil. ^9 (G)And when the dew fell on the camp at night, the manna would fall ^[g]with it.
