"When the dew came down on the tents at night, the manna came down with it."
— Numbers 11:9, Bible in Basic English
“And when the dew came down on the camp in the night, the manna fell with it.)”
But now our soul is wasted away; there is nothing at all: we have nothing but this manna before our eyes.
Now the manna was like a seed of grain, like small clear drops.
The people went about taking it up from the earth, crushing it between stones or hammering it to powder, and boiling it in pots, and they made cakes of it: its taste was like the taste of cakes cooked with oil.
When the dew came down on the tents at night, the manna came down with it.
And at the sound of the people weeping, every man at his tent-door, the wrath of the Lord was great, and Moses was very angry.
And Moses said to the Lord, Why have you done me this evil? and why have I not grace in your eyes, that you have put on me the care of all this people?
Am I the father of all this people? have I given them birth, that you say to me, Take them in your arms, like a child at the breast, to the land which you gave by an oath to their fathers?
