BRAGADAYJAH 418
The March from Sinai to
Kadesh-Barnea.
And when the people
complained, it displeased the Lord; and when the Lord heard it, His anger was
kindled; and the fire of the Lord burned among them and consumed those who were
at the furthest parts of the camp. And
the people cried unto Moses; and when Moses prayed unto the Lord the fire was
quenched.
And Moses called the name of
the place Taberah, because the fire of the Lord burned among them.
The Fleshpots of Egypt.
And the mixed multitude among
them fell to lusting and they murmured and said, “who will give us flesh to
eat? We remember the fish that we did
eat in Egypt freely; the cucumbers and the melons, the leek and the onions and
the garlic. But now our soul is dried
away, there’s nothing at all except this manna that is before our eyes. Now the
manna was as coriander seed and the color was as the color of bdellium. And the
people went about and gathered it and ground it in mills or beat it in a mortar,
and baked it in pans and made cakes of it, and the taste of it was as the taste
of fresh oil; and when the dew fell upon the camp in the night, the manna fell
upon it.
