And when the people complained, it displeased the LORD: and the LORD heard it; and his anger was kindled; and the fire of the LORD burnt among them, and consumed them in the uttermost parts of the camp.

And the people murmured and were discontent, at their three days’ journey in the wilderness, ere they settled in a resting place; and the Lord took notice of their repining; and his anger was kindled against them, and shewed itself in a sensible judgment upon them; for he sent forth a visible fire amongst them, and consumed those that were in the outer skirts of the camp.

Numbers 11:4

And the multitude, which was a mixed company of native Israelites and of strangers that came along with them out of Egypt, fell to an earnest longing and lusting after their old diet; and said, Oh that somebody would now give us flesh to eat.

Numbers 11:7

The manna was as coriander seed, and the colour thereof as the colour of bdellium.

The manna was, in fashion and quantity, like to coriander seed; and the colour of it was, as of a clear white gum.

If I shall be put to bear the charge and burthen of this busy and troublesome people alone, rather take me away.
