Complaints about Food

4  Now the mixed multitude who were among them craved more desirable foods, and so the Israelites wept again and said, “If only we had meat to eat! 5  We remember the fish we used to eat freely in Egypt, the cucumbers, the melons, the leeks, the onions, and the garlic. 6  But now we are dried up, and there is nothing at all before us except this manna!” 7  (Now the manna was like coriander seed, and its color like the color of bdellium. 8  And the people went about and gathered it, and ground it with mills or pounded it in mortars; they baked it in pans and made cakes of it. It tasted like fresh olive oil. 9  And when the dew came down on the camp in the night, the manna fell with it.)
