¹ Then all the people gave load cries of grief, and all that night they gave themselves up to weeping.

¹ Now the people were saying evil against the Lord; and the Lord, hearing it, was angry and sent fire on them, burning the outer parts of the tent-circle.

² And the people made an outcry to Moses, and Moses made prayer to the Lord, and the fire was stopped.

³ So that place was named Taberah, because of the fire of the Lord which had been burning among them.

⁴ And the mixed band of people who went with them were overcome by desire: and the children of Israel, weeping again, said, Who will give us flesh for our food?

⁴⁵ And you came back, weeping before the Lord; but the Lord gave no attention to your cries and did not give ear to you.
