⁵ and the people speak against God, and against Moses, `Why hast thou brought us up out of Egypt to die in a wilderness? for there is no bread, and there is no water, and our soul hath been weary of this light bread.'

¹⁹ And they speak against God -- they said: `Is God able to array a table in a wilderness?'

⁷ A satiated soul treadeth down a honeycomb, And `to' a hungry soul every bitter thing `is' sweet.

²⁴ And He raineth on them manna to eat, Yea, corn of heaven He hath given to them.

²⁵ Food of the mighty hath each eaten, Venison He sent to them to satiety.

⁶ God -- causing the lonely to dwell at home, Bringing out bound ones into prosperity, Only -- the refractory have inhabited a dry place.

¹² And the sons of Israel speak unto Moses, saying, `Lo, we have expired; we have perished; we have all of us perished;

⁴¹ And all the company of the sons of Israel murmur, on the morrow, against Moses and against Aaron, saying, `Ye -- ye have put to death the people of Jehovah.'

¹³ is it little that thou hast brought us up out of a land flowing with milk and honey to put us to death in a wilderness that thou also certainly makest thyself prince over us?

¹⁴ Yea, unto a land flowing with milk and honey thou hast not brought us in, nor dost thou give to us an inheritance of field and vineyard; the eyes of these men dost thou pick out? we do not come up.'

¹ And all the company lifteth up and give forth their voice, and the people weep during that night;

² and all the sons of Israel murmur against Moses, and against Aaron, and all the company say unto them, `O that we had died in the land of Egypt, or in this wilderness, O that we had died!

³ and why is Jehovah bringing us in unto this land to fall by the sword? our wives and our infants are become a prey; is it not good for us to turn back to Egypt?'

⁴ And they say one unto another, `Let us appoint a head, and turn back to Egypt.'

¹ And the people is evil, as those sighing habitually in the ears of Jehovah, and Jehovah heareth, and His anger burneth, and the fire of Jehovah burneth among them, and consumeth in the extremity of the camp.

² And the people cry unto Moses, and Moses prayeth unto Jehovah, and the fire is quenched;

³ and he calleth the name of that place Taberah, for the fire of Jehovah hath `burned' among them.

⁴ And the rabble who `are' in its midst have lusted greatly, and the sons of Israel also turn back and weep, and say, `Who doth give us flesh?

⁵ We have remembered the fish which we do eat in Egypt for nought, the cucumbers, and the melons, and the leeks, and the onions, and the garlick;

⁶ and now our soul `is' dry, there is not anything, save the manna, before our eyes.'

⁷ And the manna is as coriander seed, and its aspect as the aspect of bdolach;

⁸ the people have turned aside and gathered `it', and ground `it' with millstones, or beat `it' in a mortar, and boiled `it' in a pan, and made it cakes, and its taste hath been as the taste of the moisture of oil.

⁹ And in the descending of the dew on the camp by night, the manna descendeth upon it.

² and the people strive with Moses, and say, `Give us water, and we drink.' And Moses saith to them, `What? -- ye strive with me, what? -- ye try Jehovah?'

³ and the people thirst there for water, and the people murmur against Moses, and say, `Why `is' this? -- thou hast brought us up out of Egypt, to put us to death, also our sons and our cattle, with thirst.'

³¹ and the house of Israel call its name Manna, and it `is' as coriander seed, white; and its taste `is' as a cake with honey.

¹⁵ And the sons of Israel see, and say one unto another, `What `is' it?' for they have not known what it `is'; and Moses saith unto them, `It `is' the bread which Jehovah hath given to you for food.

⁷ and morning -- and ye have seen the honour of Jehovah, in His hearing your murmurings against Jehovah, and what `are' we, that ye murmur against us?'

⁸ And Moses saith, `In Jehovah's giving to you in the evening flesh to eat, and bread in the morning to satiety -- in Jehovah's hearing your murmurings, which ye are murmuring against Him, and what `are' we? your murmurings `are' not against us, but against Jehovah.'

² And all the company of the sons of Israel murmur against Moses and against Aaron in the wilderness;

³ and the sons of Israel say unto them, `Oh that we had died by the hand of Jehovah in the land of Egypt, in our sitting by the flesh-pot, in our eating bread to satiety -- for ye have brought us out unto this wilderness to put all this assembly to death with hunger.'

²⁴ And the people murmur against Moses, saying, `What do we drink?'

¹¹ And they say unto Moses, `Because there are no graves in Egypt, hast thou taken us away to die in a wilderness? what is this thou hast done to us -- to bring us out from Egypt?
