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.

New King James Version
4 Now the (A)mixed multitude who were among them [a]yielded to (B)intense craving; so the children of Israel also wept again and said: (C)“Who will give us meat to eat? 5 (D)We remember the fish which we ate freely in Egypt, the cucumbers, the melons, the leeks, the onions, and the garlic; 6 but now (E)our whole being is dried up; there is nothing at all except this manna before our eyes!”
7 Now (F)the manna was like coriander seed, and its color like the color of bdellium. 8 The people went about and gathered it, ground it on millstones or beat it in the mortar, cooked it in pans, and made cakes of it; and (G)its taste was like the taste of pastry prepared with oil. 9 And (H)when the dew fell on the camp in the night, the manna fell on it.
