他们中间的闲杂人大起贪欲的心。以色列人又哭号说，谁给我们肉吃呢，
And the mixt multitude that was among them fell a lusting: and the children of Israel also wept again, and said, Who shall give us flesh to eat?
我们记得，在埃及的时候不花钱就吃鱼，也记得有黄瓜，西瓜，韭菜，葱，蒜。
We remember the fish, which we did eat in Egypt freely; the cucumbers, and the melons, and the leeks, and the onions, and the garlick:
现在我们的心血枯竭了，除这吗哪以外，在我们眼前并没有别的东西。
But now our soul is dried away: there is nothing at all, beside this manna, before our eyes.
这吗哪彷佛芫荽子，又好像珍珠。
And the manna was as coriander seed, and the colour thereof as the colour of bdellium.
百姓周围行走，把吗哪收起来，或用磨推，或用臼捣，煮在锅中，又作成饼，滋味好像新油。
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.
摩西听见百姓各在各家的帐棚门口哭号。耶和华的怒气便大发作，摩西就不喜悦。
Then Moses heard the people weep throughout their families, every man in the door of his tent: and the anger of the LORD was kindled greatly; Moses also was displeased.
摩西对耶和华说，你为何苦待仆人，我为何不在你眼前蒙恩，竟把这管理百姓的重任加在我身上呢，
And Moses said unto the LORD, Wherefore hast thou afflicted thy servant? and wherefore have I not found favour in thy sight, that thou layest the burden of all this people upon me?
这百姓岂是我怀的胎，岂是我生下来的呢，你竟对我说，把他们抱在怀里，如养育之父抱吃奶的孩子，直抱到你起誓应许给他们祖宗的地去。
Have I conceived all this people? have I begotten them, that thou shouldest say unto me, Carry them in thy bosom, as a nursing father beareth the sucking child, unto the land which thou swarest unto their fathers?
我从哪里得肉给这百姓吃呢，他们都向我哭号说，你给我们肉吃吧。
Whence should I have flesh to give unto all this people? for they weep unto me, saying, Give us flesh, that we may eat.
管理这百姓的责任太重了，我独自担当不起。
I am not able to bear all this people alone, because it is too heavy for me.
