1. And when the people complained, it displeased Hashem; Hashem heard it; His anger was kindled; and the Eish Hashem burned among them, and consumed them that were at the edge of the machaneh.
2. And the people cried unto Moshe; and when Moshe davened unto Hashem, the eish was quenched.
3. He called shem hamakom Taverah because the Eish Hashem burned among them.
4. And the rabble that was among them fell a-lusting; and the Bnei Yisroel also wept again, and said, If only we had basar to eat!
5. We remember the fish, which we did eat in Mitzrayim at no cost; the cucumbers, and the melons, and the leeks, and the onions, and the garlic;
6. But now our nefesh is dried up; there is nothing at all, besides this manna, before our eyes.
7. And the manna was like coriander seed, and the color thereof like the color of white gum resin.
8. And the people went about and gathered it, and ground it in handmills, or crushed it in the mortar, and baked it in pans, and made cakes of it; and the taste of it was like the taste of cakes prepared of shemen.
