Numbers 11:5 Context
3And hee called the name of the place Taberah: because the fire of the Lord burnt among them. 4¶ And the mixt multitude that was among them, fell a lusting, and the children of Israel also wept againe, and said, Who shal giue vs flesh to eate? 5We remember the fish which wee did eate in Egypt freely: the cucumbers and the melons, and the leekes, and the onions, and the garlicke. 6But now our soule is dried away, there is nothing at all, besides this Manna, before our eyes. 7And the Manna was as Coriander seed, and the colour thereof as the colour of Bdelium:
