The People Complain

11 Now the people became like (A)those who complain of calamity (B)in the ears of Yahweh. And Yahweh heard it and His anger was kindled, and the fire of Yahweh burned among them and consumed some of the outskirts of the camp. (C)The people therefore cried out to Moses, and Moses prayed to Yahweh, and the fire [a]died out. So the name of that place was called [b](D)Taberah because the fire of Yahweh burned among them.

And the (E)rabble who were among them [c]had greedy desires; and also the sons of Israel wept again and said, “(F)Who will give us [d]meat to eat? (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, but now (H)our [e]appetite is dried up. There is nothing at all [f]to look at except this manna.”
