Numbers 11:4-9
Legacy Standard Bible
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.

7 The manna(D) resembled coriander seed, and its appearance was like that of bdellium.[c] 8 The people walked around and gathered it. They ground it on a pair of grinding stones or crushed it in a mortar, then boiled it in a cooking pot and shaped it into cakes. It tasted like a pastry cooked with the finest oil. 9 When the dew fell on the camp at night, the manna would fall with it.(E)
