Revised Common Lectionary (Semicontinuous)

11 In the mean time there arose a murmuring of the people against the Lord, as it were repining at their fatigue. And when the Lord heard it he was angry. And the fire of the Lord being kindled against them, devoured them that were at the uttermost part of the camp.

² And when the people cried to Moses, Moses prayed to the Lord, and the fire was swallowed up.

³ And he called the name of that place, The burning: for that the fire of the Lord had been kindled against them.

⁴ For a mixt multitude of people, that came up with them, burned with desire, sitting and weeping, the children of Israel also being joined with them, and said: Who shall give us flesh to eat?

⁵ We remember the Ash that we ate in Egypt free cost: the cucumbers come into our mind, and the melons, and the leeks, and the onions, and the garlic.

⁶ Our soul is dry, our eyes behold nothing else but manna.

⁷ A Now the manna was like coriander seed, of the colour of bdellium.

⁸ And the people went about, and gathering it, ground it in a mill, or beat it in a mortar, and boiled it in a pot, and made cakes thereof of the taste of bread tempered with oil.

⁹ And when the dew fell in the night upon the camp, the manna also fell with it.

¹⁷ Now I beseech you, brethren, to mark them who make dissensions and offences contrary to the doctrine which you have learned, and avoid them.

¹⁸ For they that are such, serve not Christ our Lord, but their own belly; and by pleasing speeches and good words, seduce the hearts of the innocent.

¹⁹ For your obedience is published in every place. I rejoice therefore in you. But I would have you to be wise in good, and simple in evil.

²⁰ And the God of peace crush Satan under your feet speedily. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.
