Numbers 11:1-6 Douay-Rheims Challoner Revision 1752 (DRC1752)

1. 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.
