⁴ Now the ^(A)rabble who were among them ^[a]had greedy cravings; and the sons of Israel also wept again and said, “^(B)Who will give us ^[b]meat to eat? ^5 (C)We remember the fish which we used to eat for free in Egypt, the cucumbers, the melons, the leeks, the onions, and the garlic; ⁶ but now ^(D)our ^[c]appetite is gone. 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 ^[e](F)bdellium. ⁸ The people would roam about and gather it and grind it ^[f]between two millstones, or pound it in the mortar, and boil it in the pot and make loaves with it; and its taste was like the taste of ^[g]cake baked with oil. ^9 (G)When the dew came down on the camp at night, the manna would come down ^[h]with it.
