Numbers 11:4-6
International Standard Version
4 Meanwhile, certain riff-raff among the people[a] had an insatiable appetite[b] for food. As a result, they wept and turned back, and the Israelis cried out, “If only somebody would feed us some meat! 5 How we remember the fish that we used to eat in Egypt for free! And the cucumbers, melons, leeks, onions, and garlic! 6 But now we can’t stand it anymore,[c] because there’s nothing in front of us except this manna.”

Numbers 11:4-6
New International Version
Quail From the Lord
4 The rabble with them began to crave other food,(A) and again the Israelites started wailing(B) and said, “If only we had meat to eat! 5 We remember the fish we ate in Egypt at no cost—also the cucumbers, melons, leeks, onions and garlic.(C) 6 But now we have lost our appetite; we never see anything but this manna!(D)”
