Are You A Complainer?
1 Now the people became like (A) those who complain of adversity (B) in the hearing of the LORD; and when the LORD heard it, His anger was kindled, and the fire of the LORD burned among them and consumed some of the outskirts of the camp.
2 (C) The people therefore cried out to Moses, and Moses prayed to the LORD and the fire died out.
3 So the name of that place was called [a](D) Taberah, because the fire of the LORD burned among them.
4 The (E) rabble who were among them had greedy desires; and also the sons of Israel wept again and said, "(F) Who will give us meat to eat?
5 "(G) We remember the fish which we used to eat free in Egypt, the cucumbers and the melons and the leeks and the onions and the garlic, 6 but now (H) our [b] appetite is gone. There is nothing at all to look at except this manna."
7 (I) Now the manna was like coriander seed, and its appearance like that of (J) bdellium.
8 The people would go about and gather it and grind it between two millstones or beat it in the mortar, and boil it in the pot and make cakes with it; and its taste was as the taste of cakes baked with oil.
9 (K) When the dew fell on the camp at night, the manna would fall with it.
10 Now Moses heard the people weeping throughout their families, each man at the doorway of his tent; and the anger of the LORD was kindled greatly, and Moses was displeased.
