2. And the people cried out to Mosheh, and Mosheh prayed to יהוה, and the fire died down.
3. Then he called the name of the place Taḇ‛ĕrah, because the fire of יהוה had burned among them.
4. And the mixed multitude who were in their midst lusted greatly, so the children of Yisra’ĕl also wept again and said, “Who is giving us meat to eat?
5. “We remember the fish which we ate without cost in Mitsrayim, the cucumbers, and the melons, and the leeks, and the onions, and the garlic,
6. but now our throat is dried up. There is naught to look at but this manna!”
7. Now the manna was like coriander seed, and its appearance like the appearance of bdellium.
8. The people went about and gathered it, ground it on millstones or beat it in the mortar, and cooked it in a pot, and made cakes of it. And its taste was as the taste of cakes baked with oil.
9. And when the dew fell on the camp at night, the manna fell on it.
10. And Mosheh heard the people weeping throughout their clans, each man at the door of his tent. And the displeasure of יהוה burned exceedingly. And in the eyes of Mosheh it was evil,
11. so Mosheh said to יהוה, “Why have You done evil to Your servant? And why have I not found favour in Your eyes, to put the burden of all these people on me?
12. “Was it I who conceived all these people? Was it I who brought them forth, that You should say to me, ‘Carry them in your bosom, as the foster father carries a nursing child,’ to the land which You swore to their fathers?
13. “Where am I to get meat to give to all these people? For they weep before me, saying, ‘Give us meat to eat.’
14. “I am unable to bear all these people alone, because the burden is too heavy for me.
