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 Now the manna was like coriander seed, and its color was like the color of gum resin.(D) 8 The people went around and gathered it, ground it in mills or beat it in mortars, then boiled it in pots and made cakes of it, and the taste of it was like the taste of cakes baked with oil. 9 When the dew fell on the camp in the night, the manna would fall with it.(E)
