4And the mixed multitude among them lusted exceedingly; and they and the children of Israel sat down and wept and said, Who shall give us flesh to eat?
5We remember the fish, which we ate in Egypt freely; and the cucumbers, and the melons, and the leeks, and the garlic, and the onions.
6But now our soul is dried up; our eyes turn to nothing but to the manna.
7And the manna is as coriander seed, and the appearance of it the appearance of hoarfrost.
8And the people went through the field, and gathered, and ground it in the mill, or pounded it in a mortar, and baked it in a pan, and made cakes of it; and the sweetness of it was as the taste of wafer made with oil.
9And when the dew came upon the camp by night, the manna came down upon it.
10And Moses heard them weeping by their families, every one in his door: and the Lord was very angry; and the thing was evil in the sight of Moses.
11And Moses said to the Lord, Why have you afflicted your servant, and why have I not found grace in your sight, that you should lay the weight of this people upon me?
12Have I conceived all this people, or have I born them? that you say to me, Take them into your bosom, as a nurse would take her suckling, into the land which you sware to their fathers?
13Whence have I flesh to give to all this people? for they weep to me, saying, Give us flesh, that we may eat.
14I shall not be able to bear this people alone, for this thing is too heavy for me.
15And if you do thus to me, kill me utterly, if I have found favor with you, that I may not see my affliction.
16And the Lord said to Moses, Gather me seventy men from the elders of Israel, whom you yourself know that they are the elders of the people, and their scribes; and you shall bring them to the tabernacle of witness, and they shall stand there with you.
17And I will go down, and speak there with you; and I will take of the spirit that is upon you, and will put it upon them; and they shall bear together with you the burden of the people, and you shall not bear them alone.
18And to the people you shall say, Purify yourselves for the morrow, and you° shall eat flesh; for you° wept before the Lord, saying, Who shall give us flesh to eat? for it was well with us in Egypt: and the Lord shall allow you to eat flesh, and you° shall eat flesh.
