4Meanwhile, the rabble among them had a strong craving for other food, and again the Israelites wept and said, “Who will feed us meat?
5We remember the fish we ate freely in Egypt, along with the cucumbers, melons, leeks, onions, and garlic.
6But now our appetite is gone; there is nothing to see but this manna!”
7Now the manna resembled coriander seed, and its appearance was like that of gum resin.
8The people walked around and gathered it, ground it on a handmill or crushed it in a mortar, then boiled it in a cooking pot or shaped it into cakes. It tasted like pastry baked with fine oil.
9When the dew fell on the camp at night, the manna would fall with it.
