Numbers 11

¹When the people became murmurers, it displeased the Lord: and the Lord heard it, therefore his wrath was kindled, and the fire of the Lord burnt among them, and consumed the vtmost parte of the hoste.

²Then the people cryed vnto Moses: and when Moses praied vnto the Lord, the fire was quenched.

³And he called the name of that place Taberah, because the fire of the Lord burnt among them.

⁴And a nomber of people that was amog them, fell a lusting, and turned away, and the children of Israel also wept, and saide, Who shall giue vs flesh to eate?

⁵We remember the fish which we did eat in Egypt for nought, the cucumbers, and the pepons, and the leekes, and the onions, and the garleke.

⁶But now our soule is dryed away, we can see nothing but this Man.

⁷(The Man also was as coriander seede, and his colour like the colour of bdelium.

⁸The people went about and gathered it, and ground it in milles, or beat it in morters, and baked it in a cauldron, and made cakes of it, and the taste of it was like vnto the taste of fresh oyle.

⁹And when the dewe fell downe vpon the hoste in the night, the Man fell with it)

¹⁰Then Moses heard the people weepe throughout their families, euery man in the doore of his tent, and the wrath of the Lord was grieuously kindled: also Moses was grieued.

¹¹And Moses saide vnto the Lord, Wherefore hast thou vexed thy seruant? and why haue I not found fauour in thy sight, seeing thou hast put the charge of al this people vpon mee?
